Big news!

We just partnered with a director at @salesforce who has started a mentorship program to help -YOU- succeed in technology!

@Glassdoor says that Salesforce directors make up to $256,962 per year, and he got there without a college degree!

@planetkaws There are sites like https://t.co/1YMUDIChvk where you can build it pretty quickly and sites like https://t.co/B9tHmrrtGu that may be even faster, wix used to have a free version too, not so sure anymore :)

[StartAcademy 👩🏽‍💻 @StartAcademyHQ]

@planetkaws What exactly are you looking for in it, can you link another site like what you want?

If it's simple enough, you can build it yourself in a single day

@denicmarko Oh whoa, he's moving around in that gif 😳

@denicmarko The skill of finding Waldo.

If you didn't mind or actually liked these, you could probably be an engineer.

@joyannboyce Let us know if you need anything <3

@BeautiRoxx How has your journey been so far? What are your goals with code?

[StartAcademy 👩🏽‍💻 @StartAcademyHQ]

Many of us will have a work gap soon.

A great way to fill that gap is with free education and self improvement. This will mean a ton to future employers. #StartAcademy

[StartAcademy 👩🏽‍💻 @StartAcademyHQ]

But, the reason it's behind is that there is still a skills gap that hinders diversity, and we want to eliminate that skills gap for free.

The entire journey to learn a new skill should always be free.

DM or https://t.co/UNtz72axqd for more info or to sign up. ✌️🏾

It can be insanely hard to do and that's why we're here to help.

There are many coding bootcamps that work though ISAs or Income Share Agreements and many will not charge you anything until you get a job. The ones with better guarantees might take in a refundable deposit.

@StartAcademyHQ How?

[StartAcademy 👩🏽‍💻 @StartAcademyHQ]

All you need to be able to do is learn & solve problems. The bootcamp will teach that, though bootcamps are hard. The tech industry is looking for people who can be cool under pressure & work well on teams.

And they just found out diversity is profitable:

School has changed. I planned to get a doctorate in education and -might- have started at $80,000 a year with 8 years of college debt.

Now we can get into engineering, after 24 weeks in a bootcamp, & start at $100,000 average & pay back only if we make money & then build EdTech.

We've done all four as Black women 👩🏾‍💻

1. 🏫 Top recruited university for STEM, degree in Computer Science.
2. 🙇🏾‍♀️ Self-taught through grueling hours of trying to find great content.
3. 🤯 Several bootcamps from the good to the ugly.
4. 🛠 Other: Worked in the industry.

🙌🏾

[StartAcademy 👩🏽‍💻 @StartAcademyHQ]

We are absolutely accepting people with zero experience and wanting to help anyone who seriously wants to work in this industry. 🙌🏾

[StartAcademy 👩🏽‍💻 @StartAcademyHQ]

Hi, thank you, hope you are well too!

We're here to help students who are self-teaching their way into coding. We can help give resources for learning, routes and plans, bootcamp prep, mentoring, tutoring and teaching as needed. Feel free to DM us too. ✌️🏾
