What Our Participants Say
I definitely feel like it's prepared me for, you know, kind of moving the direction of UX design and product design. I think it prepared me so much. So I actually had a job interview this morning for a product design role. So I'm just really grateful that you guys have been able to prepare me for this.
I have tried doing programs like this before, and it is nothing compared to what you have put together and the amount of effort, and it shows, like, it really shows how much you're committed to us and our success. And that's something that is so invaluable and really changes the entire trajectory of how you feel about yourself and where you can go. I just want to say thank you so much.
I think going through this program has really made a big impact on my confidence when I'm applying for jobs. I know now that I have the skills and so it helps with sort of my job search and also a big shout out to all my team members across the entire program.
And one thing that stood out was it was like, extremely smoothly flowing from, right from our classes, from skill hat to the mentorship, the hackathon, and the ripen work experience. It didn't like, there was no point wherein I felt like there was a break or like a gap, so it went smoothly and we could transition from one thing to the other very well.
I loved the classes, the hackathon and the work experience, all parts encompassed amazing elements to help me prepare for the real world. I really enjoyed how I got to have many projects to put in my portfolio.
I appreciate that there was practical application of the training received. It was great to have the chance to work with a Canadian employer.
That we not only learned the basics of UX design, but also had the opportunity to complete projects that can directly be used towards our portfolio. The experience was invaluable.
I really enjoyed having the opportunity to work with developers (I am a designer) and attempt to launch a real product.
