Placement support: five steps from the work you built to the offer.

Five steps from your end-to-end project to the offer, and placement support on every course too. Each step works on what a hiring manager opens first: the projects, the resume and the way you talk about both.

The clinic is what got me through module six. I brought a Spark job that had been broken for a week, and the person who wrote the module sat with me until it ran.

SkilD learner outcomes: your questions, answered.

Placement support
Will SkilD help me get a job after the course?

Yes, through placement support on every PG Program and course: your resume and LinkedIn, portfolio reviews, mock interviews with people who have hired for the role, and introductions into the 39+ companies our learners work at. The PG Programs add timed whiteboard rounds and a hiring-panel review of the end-to-end project.

What does SkilD placement support include on each course?

On Data Engineering and ML & AI, all five steps, from the end-to-end project to the first offer. On Applied AI, the same five, pointed at a promotion or a new AI role in your function. On the courses: resume and LinkedIn, a portfolio review, a mock interview, job alerts and introductions.

Does SkilD guarantee a job or placement?

The offer is won in the job interview, and placement support is built so you walk in ready: a project to open on screen, a panel's notes on it, a published portfolio, and the hard questions answered in mock interviews first.
