Is technology a good career path for you?
The best paying jobs in technology are in high demand. In fact, Software Developer is the number one career choice and dubbed 'Best Job in America' for 2023.
Curious about breaking into the tech industry? You've come to the right place. We train individuals with no coding experience (and sometimes no degree) to become entry level software engineers.
Kickstart a fulfilling career with endless opportunities.
"The 'best job in America' pays over $120,000 a year -- and can offer a low-stress, healthy work-life balance." - MarketWatch, 2023, on software developers!
Explore the career roadmap of a software developer.
While you may start as an entry-level software engineer, the growth opportunities in development are vast. More than half of our graduates were promoted within 1.8 years in their first role. What's more, most of our alumni had zero prior coding experience; we are big believers that software developer is among the best tech jobs for career changers.
So, would you make a great software developer?
There are various skills that serve as a strong foundation for becoming a talented coder. That’s why we developed a proprietary series of two Aptitude Tests to help identify key characteristics that we see in successful applicants, even if you have no prior coding experience. These include: problem-solving skills, critical thinking, collaboration skills, a love of learning, among other traits.

I was a Director of Corporate Development and now I'm a Software Engineer at Fifth-Third Bank.
"Tech Elevator prepared me for a career transition I've been wanting to do for a long time. I'm extremely happy with the progress I made personally and professionally after graduating. It helped me learn how to work with others in a tech environment and prepared me for the tech industry. The support we receive in updating and improving resumes, learning to interview, and expanding on soft skills is just as important as learning technical skills, and was a crucial part of being able to start a new position and pursue a new career."
