Workforce Development at Soft Innovation
At Soft Innovation, our commitment extends far beyond teaching computer skills and coding concepts. We partner with our trainees to help them build compelling resumes, connect with the right job opportunities, and support their career growth long after graduation.
More Than Just a Technology Training School
We recognize that the tech landscape is competitive, and securing a job requires more than just technical know-how.
That’s why we offer workforce development services that continue even after our trainees complete their programs. Our approach is designed to ensure that our graduates are not only equipped with the skills they need but also have the resources and support to get hired in positions that align with their career goals.
Connecting Graduates with the Industry
Through our extensive employer network, we connect recent program graduates with professionals in the tech field, creating opportunities for networking and mentorship. Soft Innovation also maintains a LinkedIn alumni community and a monthly newsletter that highlights local job opportunities, many of which come directly from our employer partners.
To further support our graduates, we have a workforce development professional on staff who provides personalized assistance with resume refinement, interview preparation, and job search strategies. This comprehensive support ensures that our trainees are well-prepared to launch their new tech careers.
Workforce Development Goals
Our workforce development initiatives are driven by key goals, including:
- Supporting the creation of a diverse tech talent pipeline: We aim to lower barriers to entry for nontraditional talent, ensuring that everyone has access to opportunities in the tech industry.
- Creating meaningful connections between tech employers and trainees: By fostering strong relationships between our graduates and employers, we benefit both parties and contribute to the growth of the tech sector.
- Providing “soft-skill” development opportunities: Beyond technical skills, we focus on helping our students develop the confidence and communication skills needed to advance their careers.
