Our curriculum is project-based. This means you'll be coding functional web applications as you learn. You'll also be using professional software, versioning, and design tools. Upon completion of the program, you should have a portfolio of projects to show to potential employers.
Our curriculum will prepare you to complete industry certification tests such as those offered by Microsoft and other companies. You may also earn college credit.
The Tech Career Bridge pathway teaches both technical and job skills, including resume, portfolio, and interview preparation. You'll learn to use professional project management tools, practice teamwork, and leadership skills.
You will meet professionals from Seattle area tech companies who volunteer as guest speakers or coaches. Some employer mentors work directly with students, creating, assigning, and reviewing completed projects.
Throughout the program, CFA will help guide your next steps, should you wish to pursue an internship, a formal tech apprenticeship, or entry into a post secondary education. After graduating from the program we will follow up with you to further support you on your career path.
