WHO IS ALREADY COMING TO US FOR TALENT?
“I just signed on to take a full time
position starting in January as a Junior
Front End Developer with a little bit of
QA. Springbox has an incredible team
and I’m getting great exposure to many
different code environments and
continually learning.”
JESSICA FUSELIERJunior Front End Developer

“I am now working full time on goodscout,
the web application that I presented on
Career Day. Goodscout improves the
buying experience on eBay and gives
users access to deals that were
previously only available to the lucky few.
Had I not done the bootcamp, goodscout
would definitely not be happening.”
DREW MONTGOMERYEntreprenuer

“Just by the virtues of the MakerSquare program itself, it’s pretty clear that MKS
graduates are dedicated, skilled problem-solvers before they go in, and come out with a
strong foundation for continued learning and growth. Ultimately White Lion decided to
bring a MKS graduate on because we knew the right person would pursue knowledge
and grow quickly into a strong developer.”
“I would ABSOLUTELY hire another MakerSquare graduate. The graduates I’ve met so
far have proven to be smart, knowledgeable, and driven. They possess the right
qualities for a successful career in the web development industry.”

WE’VE DONE THE VETTING FOR YOU
"I see my life in two stages: before and
after MakerSquare. It's more than a
career change. I have more confidence,
I'm a better learner, and I'm a happier
person."

"I came out of MKS with friends, mentors,
and three job offers within a week after
graduation. If you work hard before,
during, and after the course, it works.
Period."
KAORU KOHASHIGAWAAssociate Software Engineer

“Kaoru excelled in his interviews, showcasing solid technical
talent. He's extremely well-spoken and personable, and has
tremendous personal drive and motivation. Put this all
together, and we knew we had a great potential hire on our
hands… Kaoru added value to our team immediately. He was
shipping code to production on day 1, quickly adding both
features and bug fixes.”

WE’VE DONE THE VETTING FOR YOU
“I was getting nowhere with my Liberal Arts
degree, and was not excited about the options I
did have. It was impossible to ignore but [before
attending MakerSquare] I had zero of the
knowledge or experience needed to get my foot
in the door.”
JASON WATSONJunior Software Engineer
Communication Service for the Deaf
“Hiring MakerSquare graduates has changed our mindset on the hiring process. I was
blown away by their ability to learn quickly, contribute immediately and take on heavy
back-end work. They exceeded my expectations of a Jr. Developer and are actually
assisting in mentoring multiple employees.”
”MakerSquare graduates are comfortable diving into a new feature as well as tackling
bug fixes and other feature problems. They are very dedicated to continue learning and
often put in extra hours. They are also able to apply their existing work experience to
bring another level of professionalism and thought process to their work.”
