Real Voices, Real Growth: What Our Participants Say About Project Ascend

Testimonials

Daria Iakymenko Backend Engineer

After completing a bootcamp, I struggled to stand out in the job market. Project Ascend not only helped me sharpen my skills but also gave me the confidence to take on technical challenges. The projects felt like real job experiences, and the coaching was spot-on."

Amenu Shilbe Fullstack Engineer

The collaborative environment in my cohort made all the difference. I not only learned new technologies but also how to work effectively in a team setting. My Living Portfolio was a game changer—it clearly showed my problem-solving abilities and real-world impact.

Kaitlyn Matousek UIUX Designer

As a UI/UX designer, I wanted to work on projects where design decisions really mattered. Project Ascend gave me that opportunity. Collaborating with developers to create user-centered solutions was an incredible experience, and my Living Portfolio now showcases the designs I’m most proud of.

Tolulope Olobayo Software Engineer

The collaborative environment in my cohort made all the difference. I not only learned new technologies but also how to work effectively in a team setting. My Living Portfolio was a game changer—it clearly showed my problem-solving abilities and real-world impact.

What to expect

Frequently Asked Questions

Project Ascend will be completely free! Yes, you read that right. You will pay nothing out of pocket but that doesn’t mean that it will be easy or that it isn’t something serious. Project Ascend will have very similar rules to a real-life job. Why? Because our goal is to prepare you for your first real engineering job.

 

Project Ascend’s goal is to offer an immersive experience that simulates the daily activities of software engineers, focusing on practical skills and real-world tools like Git and Github, within a team-based, project-driven learning environment.

Project Ascend will help participants stand out to employers by simulating real job environments, providing hands-on project experience, and teaching practical skills with current industry tools.

The duration of the program will be determined on an individual-by-individual basis. Participants will be given interviews and unique agreements tailored to their preferences. Agreements can be renewed if the participant doesn’t find a job by the time the Agreement expires.

Co-op Education Programs require enrollment in the school offering the program. Enrollment in the school to gain access to the program means payments in the form of tuition fees, or other expenses such as registration fees, lab fees, library access, and sometimes room and board if you stay on campus.

Project Ascend will enhance portfolio development by providing a comprehensive report at the program’s end. This report includes detailed records of Jira tickets, commits, features, branches worked on, and assessments. It will encapsulate the participant’s engagement in job simulation activities, including pair programming, one-on-one sessions, and involvement in technical decisions, offering tangible evidence of their practical experience and skills.

Project Ascend will be like an apprenticeship as it prepares participants for entry-level tech roles through practical experience and project work. Still, it differs by providing a structured learning environment simulating a real job.

The ultimate goal is to make Project Ascent language-agnostic by having multiple teams and multiple projects an engineer can be a part of. Until we get there, we aim to start with Fullstack Web Development technologies but based on feedback, starting with Fullstack Web Development technologies is subject to change.
