The economy is built on the availability of child-care, and yet it’s still treated as a private issue for families (aka mothers) to handle. This Mother’s Day, let’s commit to finding the will, and the votes, to create a public support system. #MothersDay https://t.co/Xu8nCnto58

Inspired by the 13 leading companies who have committed to @FlatironSchool's renewal of the John Stanley Ford Fellowship, to support the advancement of Black tech professionals. We’re proud to be working alongside you towards racial equity in tech. https://t.co/34x5miJjkf

Providing students, regardless of major, with skills that employers seek should be part of every academic dept's curriculum. A psych major who acquires data analysis skills can unlock 100k+ add'l jobs paying on avg $60k, vs. $39k for psych majors overall. https://t.co/gtvNE445K4

"Trends that predate the pandemic are accelerating. Jobs are being automated as companies adapt to social distancing; tech jobs remain a bright spot in an otherwise grim economy; and more positions in virtually every field demand digital skills." https://t.co/mpsnnQ5ohz

If you're a @FlatironSchool grad currently job-seeking, keep going! With hard work and consistency, your name will be on this list (redacted, of course).

#FridayFeeling Congratulations to our amazing alumni who landed jobs this week!! We're blown away by your brilliance and are so proud of all you've achieved. #FlatironGrads #changethings

When your current company and your alma mater connect... @FlatironSchool 's custom Data Science Program for @HarvardHBS : “I felt empowered by the ability to analyze large amounts of data...and develop recommendations as we would in an HBS classroom.” https://t.co/UARglRzRrs

[Gretchen Jacobi @GretchenJacobi]

Still happening!

[Flatiron School @FlatironSchool]

👏Let's go #flatirongrads! Congrats to all who set out to #changethings and landed #jobsintech this week (these are just a few):

@FlatironSchool has been doing this for 8 yrs now:
“Radical reskilling means I can take a front-desk hotel clerk and turn him into a cybersecurity technician. I can take an airline counter agent and turn her into a data consultant.” - @Infosys

[Gretchen Jacobi @GretchenJacobi]

This is really happening, people. Yes, in the middle of a pandemic. Yes, for @FlatironSchool graduates who had no prior professional experience in software engineering/data science/UXUI Design/cyber. Yes, without the need for a “degree.” Yes to all of it.

[Flatiron School @FlatironSchool]

On Tuesday of last week, we saw 21 job offers in a SINGLE DAY! Since then our students have launched new careers in tech all over the world! #changethings #jobsintech #learntocode #flatirongrad

Today marks one year since I graduated from @FlatironSchool Software Engineering program and I have been working for an amazing company for 8 months.
Best decision ever! 🙌🏾

Yesterday, we had a Chicago-based @FlatironSchool grad get a remote job with a company based in Pittsburgh, a Pittsburgh-based grad get a remote job with a co. based in SF, and a SF-based grad get a remote job with a co. based in Chicago. Quite the trifecta! 🔃🔁🔄

The time to invest in your network is when you least need it, so by the time you do require assistance, you have created a strong support system.

This article is a great reminder that employers hire people they want to work with! Not just those who ace the tech. "Employees with soft skills provide leverage to a team. They don’t just contribute their work, but also improve their coworkers’ efforts."
