The short answer is it depends on your level of experience. In our current program, learners who have little to no coding and development experience who are successful are spending 10-20 hours outside the classroom each week working on program materials. More experienced developers are not requiring as much time but are taking additional time to build new skills. Expect this program to be a full-time commitment for the full six months.

JavaScript, React, HTML, CSS, ExpressJS, NodeJS, MongoDB are the core languages we teach in the program, and there is opportunity for you to dive into others as you have the time and energy to do so.

We take great pride in the employment rates achieved by our graduates in the Full Stack Developer program. The results we've achieved are as follows:

• Within 3 months of program completion, 53% of learners secure employment through our Full Stack Developer program.
• Within 9 months of program completion, an impressive 73% of learners from the Full Stack Developer program find employment.

We provide a number of different programs that serve a variety of schedules. For example, some learning experiences can be done on evenings and weekends. Time commitments differ from one program to the next. But given the program lengths are short, it’s a temporary commitment with the potential for a lifelong career change.

Depending on your level of technical experience coming into the program, some online preparation may be required. During the application process we will provide additional information on how to prepare.

Throughout the program we invite professionals from industry to deliver lunch and learn sessions. Our contacts in industry are invited to the final Demo Day at the end of the program. A comprehensive list of meet-ups related to the program will be available for you to explore. Some companies reach out to us to fill open positions. In these instances we can provide direct connections to those opportunities.

No. InceptionU emphasizes genuine learning over certification. We can confidently
tell you that our programs will lead to meaningful career opportunities. InceptionU
will provide you with the technical skills and metaskills, like critical thinking and
design thinking, that you need to succeed in your future career.

While we provide comprehensive support to help you succeed in landing your first job, it's important to note that we won't undertake the job search on your behalf. Your journey to finding employment is a joint effort, and we will equip you with the necessary tools and guidance to excel. Our support includes:

• Professional networking assistance and skill development.
• Expert help with crafting compelling resumes and optimizing LinkedIn profiles.
• Opportunities to practice public speaking and presentation skills.
• Engaging Lunch & Learns with prominent local tech employers.
• Facilitating connections with various tech companies in the region

At InceptionU, we believe that humans learn by doing. We've built experiential programs that are active, discovery driven, immersive, to build core competencies (both technical and non-technical) and challenging all in a supportive environment.

Tools don't solve problems. People do. Innovation and building better is a people-
centric activity. This means that our ability to use our metaskills - critical thinking,
systems thinking, creative thinking, computational thinking, design and
collaborative skills - are timeless competencies that are central to our future
success. And to be clear, this is not just your career; these cognitive and
interpersonal skills have impacts across all aspects of your life.

Yes! InceptionU connects our learners in a number of ways. Our alumni bring real-
life experience from a variety of industries, our programs and curriculum are often
based on real-world examples, and we maintain strong relationships with our
business partners providing a two-way exchange of talent ideas, and challenges/
opportunities.

Fortunately, we are not! This allows us to be agile and adaptable with our curriculum as technology evolves. We are sponsored by the Hunter Family Foundation and we work closely with Calgary Economic Development (CED) and Rainforest Alberta. We consult with industry partners to design and develop curriculum that aligns with industry trends and workforce needs.
