Springboard is an online learning platform that prepares students for the tech industry’s most in-demand careers with comprehensive, mentor-led online programs in software engineering, data science, UI/UX design, cybersecurity, tech sales, and more. All Springboard courses are 100% online, remote, and self-paced throughout an average of 6-9 months. Springboard acts as a support system, coach, and cheerleader for working professionals who are ready to level-up or make a major career shift. Students have access to a unique community of industry mentors, thought leaders, and alumni, who are on hand to offer insights, networking opportunities, and support throughout the program and well past graduation. Every Springboard student is matched with a personal student advisor and industry mentor who guides them throughout the program through regular video calls.

To apply, applicants fill out an online form, take an aptitude test, then talk with a school representative about their background and motivations. For the data science career track a background in statistics and/or programming is required. For the UX career track, students should have academic or professional background in user design or development-oriented fields.

Before graduation, Springboard’s career services team supports students in their job search, helping prepare them for interviews and networking, and facilitates their transition into the tech industry. Springboard's programs are backed with a job guarantee.

Springboard’s support does not end when students graduate. All graduates benefit from an extensive support network encompassing career services, 1:1 career coaching, networking tips, resume assistance, interview prep, and salary negotiation. Since Springboard was founded in 2013, 94% of eligible graduates secured a job within one year, earning an average salary increase of $26,000.

    Data Analytics

    I had an arts degree, basic skills from the free codecademy python, and some experience in customer service. I did not think this would be successful, and thought that at best I'd get a job and at minimum I would get my money back and a bunch of new skills. Now, 4 days after I completed the course, I'm being hired at a dream company making almost double what I was making before.

    Accommodating and Thorough

    I loved my Springboard experience! The program is self led, and you work with a weekly mentor to receive feed back and keep yourself on track. When I was diagnosed with ADHD in the middle of the program, I asked for and promptly received an extension accommodation that allowed me to finish strong.

    UX Career Track Experience

    I started off my journey through Springboard during the cusp of the COVID pandemic. Although that lead to many hardships I could never have predicted, I always knew that I had the support of my mentor and the Springboard Team. My student advisor(s) were always very easy to talk to and get ahold of during these hardships. They allow for a couple of pauses that I definitely took advantage of as they allowed me to collect myself, take breaks, and be easy on myself.  During these times, taki...

    Data Analytics Career Track

    This course was a fantastic learning experience for me, it not only helped me hone my skills in Python, Tableau, and Excel but also made me feel much more comfortable with what a data analyst actually does. My mentor gave me real world knowledge to see what his job is like, and always had answers to my questions. On top of his support there are chats, career mentors, and office hours all to support your education. SpringBoard is set up very well and lets you gain a lot of new knowledge. ...

    UI/UX Design Career Track

    Completing Springboard's UI/UX Design Career Track was one of the best decisions for my career! I feel equipped with the skills and confidence to succeed in my new  role. The 1x1 mentorship, career advice, hiring manager reviews etc were incredibly valuable. Throughout the course I was regularly given constructive feedback that would later help me land my dream job. I now have a job that I love, doing something I love and I nearly doubled my annual salary! I highly recommend Springboard'...

    Great Program to receive the skills and experience you need to start your career!

    This program was a great fit for me. Coming from a career background of education and music, breaking into the developer world was daunting. Through the mentorship, curriculum and job support components of Springboard I was able to learn the skills and experience to forge a path towards a career in web development while maintaining a full time job. Now, this was not easy and presented some challenges when it comes to balancing a demanding full time job with Springboard's innovative and r...

    Amazing professional development

    I was so happy that my husband pushed me to join Springboard. I really benefitted from the mentorship and the career services help. I think. I would have done well using other cheaper options to get into this industry but the career services and mentor program were what made me sign up to begin with.

    Best Online School

    I had an amazing time with Springboard.  Amazing design experience from the ground up, fantastic support, great coaches, but above all the best mentorship experience.  My mentor will be a friend for life and will be invaluable to my career in the future.  Nothing but positive things to say about my Springboard experience.

    Taught me what I didn't learn in school

    As someone who graduated from undergrad with a biochem degree, almost no coding experience, no relevant projects to showcase on my resume and no idea of how to get a job, the Data Science course and whole package accomplished what it said it would: I got a job in data before I even finished the course. That being said - it took me an entire year to finish (as I started a Master's in Statistics about halfway through), but spreading the coursework out over a long period of time and having ...

    Springboard helped me gain confidence as I made a career transition.

    After the program, I felt more confident going out and applying for UX design jobs. My favorite part would be the Industry Design project. I find myself referencing that project multiple times in interviews and interviewees receive the experience well too. I just finished the program yesterday, I'm now entering the job search phase with a career coach. This part of the program was what really sold me into committing.
