Empowering your business with career-ready engineers who have visible, proven track records.
About Us
At Project Ascend, we’re committed to bridging the gap between education and the tech industry for engineers breaking into the tech industry. Our innovative program offers a hands-on, immersive job simulation experience that mirrors real-world environments. We focus on practical skills like teamwork, Git, GitHub, Jira, and agile methodologies to ensure participants gain the experience they need to stand out to employers.
Through a 3-6 month workshop, participants work in cross-functional teams, building and maintaining real software while gaining valuable experience in project management and communication. With a structured program that covers every aspect of a real tech job, from sprint planning to code reviews, we provide not just theory but actual proof of ability through living portfolios—highlighting ongoing work, progress, and tangible achievements.
At the end of the program, participants will have the skills, tools, and confidence companies required to fill their software engineering roles, backed by proven project experience.
Living Portfolios
Our Living Portfolios showcase candidates' work in real-time, providing hiring managers with continuous visibility into their projects, achievements, and growth. These portfolios include detailed records of code commits, ticket tracking, and performance reviews, offering a transparent and verifiable track record of each candidate’s technical and soft skills.
By accessing these portfolios, you can assess not only technical ability but also teamwork, problem-solving, and adaptability—key attributes that go beyond a traditional résumé. With this proof of talent, you hire with confidence, knowing the candidates' experience is real and impactful.
