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.

My mentor was my absolute favorite part about this course. He was kind, patient and very knowledgeable about all aspects of user experience design.

Through the support of my career advisor, Allison, I was able to get a job by the end of the program as a data scientist and I am grateful for all the support.

A week in the life of a Springboard student
Shumyla Jan, UX Design, Spring 2017. Shumyla is now
working as a UX Designer for Walmart eCommerce.
Monday
This week, I started working on the wireframes for my Capstone Project. I want to create an event-aggregating app, and my mentor, Emily, is very supportive of my idea.
Our graduates are building meaningful careers and creating outsized impact at reputed organizations. Here are a few of of them.
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.
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.
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.
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.
