See why grads say enrolling was one of the best decisions of their life
“I like to be the best I can be. I grew up around tech. My entire life I wanted to be in tech.” While Michael initially wanted to get into IT, he discovered cybersecurity during his time in the Marine Corps and took it further by taking courses at Eleven Fifty. “I’d say some of the advantages of Eleven Fifty as your jump point into tech are the curriculum. You have structure and a group of like-minded individuals driving to the same end result.The teamwork and collaboration all around you are extremely encouraging.”
“I wanted more for myself and my family, but I also wanted to love what I do everyday.” Marina had already spent four years in college, so chose Eleven FIfty’s bootcamp option to further her learning. Her hard work has paid off as she now finds herself “happily working for the Pacers in the technology department.” She encourages others to shut off the negative thoughts to “be bold enough to make a change in your life that will benefit you in the long run.”
“Tech has always been a part of my life. Once I figured out I could make a career of it, there was no other option. I had to pursue it. I knew of Eleven Fifty. I had worked with someone who had come out of the program and I saw what it had done for their career. Eleven Fifty was exactly what I needed.”
