how do our graduates achieve entry-level mastery of soft skills?
build in cross-functional teams
students build every product in teams comprised of product managers & software developers
by building in cross-functional teams, students learn to collaborate with co-workers, communicate professionally & persuasively, negotiate & compromise, and generally conduct themselves in a professional manner
experience real-world issues
we incorporate additional real-world elements to further optimize graduates for the workplace
during their product builds, students will experience pivots, unreasonable deadlines, poorly documented code bases, “HiPPO attacks," security breaches, and more — preparing them to encounter and address these issues at work
learn in a professional environment
the entire pega6 program is designed to professionalize graduates so that they possess the mindset, attitude, poise, and grit needed to be the ideal entry-level employee
we achieve this by structuring pega6 like a job (not a college), including having managers (not teachers), working in an office (not a school), and conducting one-on-ones & performance reviews (not testing & grading)
