Launch Your Software Career — Paid Training, Real Client Placement
At SkillStorm, launching technology careers is the business. We develop software talent for Fortune 100 enterprises and U.S. government agencies, and we're looking for early-career technologists ready to make that leap.
How It Works
▸ Weeks 1–12: Paid, hands-on training on real, team-based projects
▸ Deployment: Go straight to an enterprise or government client, productive from day one
▸ The difference: You're an employee earning a paycheck, not a student paying tuition. It's a defined path from "qualified" to "deployed professional."
Who We're Looking For
This program is designed for people at the start of their technical careers who have the fundamentals, the motivation, and a desire for a structured route into enterprise software. That includes recent graduates, career changers with a technical background, and transitioning service members and veterans.
Minimum Qualifications:
→ Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, IT, or a closely related technical field
→ At least 1 year of technical work experience
Working knowledge of core programming concepts: data structures, algorithms, databases and SQL, and object-oriented development in a language like Java or C#.
Every candidate who meets these requirements gets an individual review for fit. On the fence about whether you qualify? Apply anyway. Deciding is our job, not yours.
What Sets Strong Candidates Apart
✔ Sharp problem-solving skills and sound logical reasoning
✔ Clear communication, both written and spoken, with teammates and stakeholders
✔ Eligibility to obtain a U.S. government security clearance
✔ Willingness to relocate for a client placement
✔ U.S. work authorization as a SkillStorm W2 employee (C2C arrangements not accepted)
