The best part of the course is the projects as they are extremely relevant... I recently graduated from business school and this course helped me land my first job.

Our graduates are building meaningful careers and creating outsized impact at reputed organizations. Here are a few of of them.
Sara
Data Science
Before: PhD student, Government researcher
After: Data Scientist at Boeing
I loved that Springboard curated the best content for me, so I didn’t have to wade through everything myself. I do much better with external pressure, so having a mentor helped me move a lot faster than I’d be able to alone.
Niraj
Data Science
Before: Foreign Correspondent at The Wall Street Journal
After: Data Analyst at Reddit
I was a little nervous before my first mentor call. it was the first time I’d spoken to a real Data Scientist about what I wanted! But my mentor, Soups, was amazing -- friendly, excited, and very, very encouraging. He made me feel like I could really do this thing.
Debbie
UX Design
Before: Fashion Designer at Alice & Olivia
After: Marketing Director at Adam America Real Estate
Within a few weeks of the course, I got a job as the Marketing Director at Adam America Real Estate. Springboard helped me become comfortable creating wireframes and prototypes and taught me the value of user-centered design and validation.
Lynell

Before: Freelance
After: Operations Manager, BoardVitals
When I started Springboard, I was between full-time positions. My confidence in Excel and understanding of using data to drive business decisions helped me find a position that’s a blend of my background in customer success and my newfound skills in data analytics.
