About The Tech Career Accelerator

The SkillHat Tech Career Accelerator is a program designed to help you transition into the tech industry. It addresses the common obstacles that prevent people from making an effective pivot into tech, such as lack of experience in a cross-functional product team, no product portfolio, and low confidence. The program provides hands-on experience and the opportunity to build a product portfolio by allowing you to take on a role within a real product team, solving a real-world problem. You can take up roles in the cross-functional team such as UX Designer, Business Analyst, Product Manager, Scrum Master, or Software Engineer. The goal of the accelerator is to provide you with the skills and experience necessary to launch a successful tech career.

Testimonials

"When I started the program, I was not sure of how the BA role would interact with the other project roles. In the end, I could confidently talk as a BA and talk about all the project artefacts. It was an intense program but it was worth the while. In my opinion, this is the best training I have invested in because I left with a practical experience I can actually build on."

Business Analyst
BLACK SCHOLAR TEAM

"Overall a really great program to be a part of if you want that stepping stone into real world responsibilities. I was challenged and positively reward at the end. Now I can comfortably sit with peers & employers to talk about what it means to be a business analyst / product owner. Highly recommend!"

Business Analyst

"The Accelerator program greatly boosted my confidence as a Business Analyst. The concepts were taught well in class but it still felt abstract until I got the "real world" experience. Now I contribute to project success and also how a Scrum team functions. Developing an MVP in less than 9 weeks was really remarkable and in the end it felt really good to say, "YEAH I did that"."
