What employers ask us.
Do you charge a placement fee?
No, never. We're a 501(c)(3) — our mission is connecting trained talent to employers. Your hires are free, always.
Can we sponsor a custom track?
Yes, starting at $25K. Sponsor partners get a named cohort and branded curriculum segment trained on the stack and tooling you hire for.
What locations do grads work from?
Remote-first, with a WA and OR concentration. Many grads are open to hybrid or relocation for the right role.
Do you handle visa or work authorization?
Grads are US work-authorized unless noted on their profile. We flag sponsorship needs up front so there are no surprises.
Can we pilot a single hire first?
Yes, no minimum. Most employer relationships start with one hire and grow organically from there.
Is this an internship or full-time pipeline?
Both. 35% of our pipeline is paid internships, the rest is direct full-time. Tell us your need and we'll match.
