How we work Our methodology is based on a deep understanding of what is needed for education-to-employment success
Jobs and employer engagement on ROI from the start.
We work directly with employers to understand hiring needs as we build curricula and to confirm job vacancies before programs even start.
Recruit students based on intrinsics, effort, and standards for the profession.
Recruitment is a multi-step process that helps ensure learners understand the demands and opportunities of the course and the profession they will enter.
Profession-specific technical, behavioral, and mindset training while providing social supports.
Based on authentic workplace activities, our programs braid together technical, behaviour and mindset skills in every exercise. Our skills-driven courses are 70%+ practicum so graduates are ready for success from day one.
Interviews with employers for rapid job placement.
We set graduates up with interviews with hiring employers so they can start working – and earning – three to six months of program completion.
Mentorship and an alumni community that follows graduates into the workplace.
Targeted, personalized support helps graduates navigate any challenges that come up both during the program and during critical first months on the job.
Return on investment for employers, students, and society.
We measure program impact for everyone involved, understanding how their time and resource investment pays off.
Data at the center.
With 45 million data points and growing, we understand the full employment journey for graduates and can continually improve our approach.
