Consider pivoting into Alberta’s thriving tech industry, as either a developer or perhaps into a tech-adjacent career. With the evolution of our digital economy, it is well known that Calgarians will have to engage in a cycle of learning;, unlearning and re-learning. This is what our learners do daily in the Evolve Full Stack Developer program at InceptionU. This opportunity is a full-time 6-month course, designed to develop the technical and essential skills needed to become a well- rounded, full stack developer, and to support learners in adopting a growth mindset to ensure they are future- fit in an ever-changing digital economy. A Full Stack Developer is someone who has the competencies to understand back-end development work (coding, databases design, and programming) and front-end development work (design and UX/UI). Led by an on-site team lead, learners engage in project-based, collaborative team experiences, and will finish with a portfolio of three projects that will showcase your talent to future employers. Learners will learn to state and analyze complex problems, uncover assumptions, collaborate with peers and distinguish between what is known and unknown to drive effective systems development. Be part of meaningful, not mechanical, learning!
