Hey there! I’m Jackie, and I’m the Manager of Placements & Student Development and Coaching at Flatiron School.
First off, we’ve done this before. Flatiron School is still the only professional web development immersive that has a verified jobs report. Students who complete this curriculum get jobs as developers. Full stop.
That said, our job offer guarantee is not something we take lightly, and there are a few reasons that we feel confident in it:
You’ll learn from an open curriculum.
One of Flatiron School’s core beliefs is to never stop learning — and that means curriculum should never stay static, either. Learn’s curriculum is open sourced and on GitHub, so it’s updated in real-time by students, faculty, and the larger Learn community.
This has two powerful effects: the first, is that every student will experience up-to-date lessons — and when it comes to teaching technology, that feature is indispensable.
The second, is that it will provide evidence of your mastery. Employers don’t care about badges, certificates or often even degrees for the most part when evaluating a developer's qualifications. They want to see a robust GitHub profile that they can inspect to see the quality and dedication to your work. Because Learn’s curriculum is open-sourced on GitHub, that’s what they’ll see.
You’ll have stellar support from a seasoned placements team.
We’re open about our job placement numbers because we have built lasting partnerships with companies who are eager to work with our graduates. Companies see what type of dedication, knowledge, and positivity our grads bring to their roles, and many companies come back to hire from us again.
You’ll get just as much out as you put in.
Job placement isn’t a one-way street — you’ll have to show tenacity in finding a career you love. For our part, the Learn-Verified Full Stack Web Development program will give you the skills and techniques you need, including expert career coaches to help you along the way. This includes:
For your part, you’ll have to keep up your end of the bargain. That means responding to emails, showing up to interviews, and getting yourself out there both in-person and online. So long as you put the effort forward, we’ll continue to work with you on a regular basis, guiding you through these steps.
Passion is the common denominator for success.
It’s not enough to have a passing interest in programming, and that’s what has made Flatiron School’s graduates stand apart from the rest over the years. We find people who truly care about their work, who have the grit and intelligence to see difficult times through, and who have enough optimism to share that love with the world. That’s why we ask students to complete about 30 hours of work in our Web Fundamentals course before even submitting an application. You should know you enjoy this work before you commit to it.
The bottom line: as you put 100% into it, so will we. And if you don’t get a job offer in six months, we’ll give you your money back.
