This is the most exciting time for @LearningGyms. Just got the greenlight on the opportunity of a lifetime.

Now looking for an exceptional COO/COS (remote).

If you want to work with me and bring a new learning system to the world -- the whole enchilada :) -- DMs are open.

We don't share news that often, but this is big.

The State of Michigan will now pay for residents to enroll in our flagship program, the IT Career FastTrack 🎉

That's 100% free, no strings, no debt 💪

More coming soon :)

This made our week:

A person who learned about coding at our free intro workshop last spring informed us she is now a **CS major** at the University of Michigan, she got a gig teaching coding to high school students...and she bought a Shift_Up membership to keep learning! 🥳👏
