Career Curriculum Course
The final course in your program is Career Curriculum. During these job-readiness training sessions, you will focus on creating your technical resume, LinkedIn profile, and GitHub. An experienced Certified Professional Resume Writer and Career Coach works directly with you to give you a competitive edge — training you on how to present these items, articulate your technical skills, and even negotiate a salary. You will also learn about today’s job market and different career tracks to determine the path you want to take. The goal of this course is to ensure you’re ready to confidently present yourself, your work, and your experience.

Career Services for job searching success
“One thing that stands out about Kenzie Academy is that Kenzie will have people on your corner to guide you before the program even begins, during, and ever after the program ends. The career advising aspect is what made me enroll to Kenzie and made them stand out from the rest of the programs out there. They really help students present themselves to employers after graduation and help them become successful … I am grateful for my Kenzie advisor for encouraging me throughout the extensive interview process.”
