School16 is a 16-week, live online, part-time Technology Career Acceleration Program that gets students job-ready for tech careers without needing to learn how to code. In the first 8 weeks, students learn foundational tech skills from experienced industry professionals as they rotate through Sales, Marketing, Project Management and Product Management – all while building critical career searching skills. Students then select an Advanced Learning Concentration (ALC) course for the final 8 weeks. In the ALC course, students focus solely on building skills and a portfolio for the most in-demand business-focused roles in tech: Sales and Customer Success, Digital Marketing, Project Management and Operations, or Product Management. School16’s courses were designed with the needs of modern students in mind; they are part-time and online meaning that most anyone can fit the program into their schedule.
School16 courses are led by instructors with deep industry experience, so students can learn what these jobs look like in tech companies, how to manage core responsibilities of the roles, and more. School16 also offers direct access to mentors who work in tech to deepen a student’s understanding of the field they’re preparing to enter. There is 1:1 career coaching and group sessions with career advisors, too.

Marketable skills and knowledge at a great value
This course provided me with tons of knowledge and practical experience. We covered a lot of information in our short time, but it was never too much to handle. I very much appreciated the small group sessions where we worked on real-world situations applying what we had just learned. Then afterwards each group had an opportunity to publicly present their collaborative work.

Interactive and engaging program!
Through School16, I learned that there were so many non-coding jobs available at tech companies. Coming from a non-tech background, I also learned new terms and tools that tech companies use. I got an intro of what the 4 major business roles do - marketing, sales, operations, and product management.

I had a great experience with School16. The instructors, fellow students, and advisors alone made it well worth it. Everyone is an industry expert and can provide real-world scenarios and are always willing to help. It is hard to find this sort of guidance and advice outside of a traditional college. You get what you put in. Be present, attentive, ask questions, utilize office hours (I wish I utilized office hours more) and it will all be well worth it.

I love that the curriculum helped me understand the various moving pieces of a start-up -- operations, sales, customer service, marketing, product management with some design thinking attached. The group projects allowed me to get to know my peers and their strengths, and in the end, I found a co-founder with whom I am going to create a company! I would recommend School16 to those looking to break into tech with purpose and passion. - Heaibert DiamondLicensing Associate • Graduate • Technology Career Acceleration Program • OnlineNov 20, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

My base career is communication and I have always worked on the social sciences side, so having the opportunity to go through an 8-week process to learn more about sales, marketing (From a Tech point of view), operations and the product was amazing. In addition, during this process, they provide 1: 1 mentorship for professional growth, the instructors are from magnificent organizations and the diversity that exists in the group is incredible to be able to grow.

School16 was definitely worth the investment for me. I learned a lot about product management which is the field that I am transitioning into. There were plenty resources for self study and coaching sessions so I was able to have one on one office hour sessions with the instructors.
I believe the program and my accountability group gave me the support that I needed to really attack my goals this year.

I feel more confident in pursuing opportunities in tech. I learned more about how my background could translate into a product management role. Behind product management, the career development module was my second favorite part of the experience.
My only thing is I wish I would have known how quickly S16 office hour sessions get booked. I would have taken advantage of having more face time with the instructors earlier on in the program. I was able to connect with most of them through LinkedIn afterwards though! - Vontilla StevenGraduate • Technology Career Acceleration Program • OnlineNov 05, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

When I started School16 I knew that career opportunities existed in tech, but the question in the back of my mind was, "How do I start a tech career without ever needing to code in my life?"
