USMy Time At Level Up In Tech My time at LUIT was the best time I could have had in my tech career at that point. I was at a crossroads on where to go in my career and tried different avenues before deciding on the cloud. Before joining I had no cloud experience at all outside of studying for the AWS Cloud Practitioner in the summer of 2022 and going into the program allowed me to learn skills that I would have otherwise not been familiar with going down this path. I was a tad bit skeptical about the program as I've heard the stories around bootcamps but I saw previous success stories and I took the plunge and I'm glad I did. Level Up In Tech is a legit program that will help your career if you're willing to put in the work if you're new to this side of tech and want to get into tech period. I can only speak to my experience and not others as I learned the skills that have allowed me to excel in the job that I have now. One thing that would help LUIT I think is helping students who are still struggling to land jobs even after the program has ended or offering resources to the students still struggling to pass a certification that would otherwise help them get in the conversation for a possible job opportunity. Overall, Level Up In Tech has helped me and many others land jobs in a competitive field, and given us the skills to provide us with a better life. It is a program that is still growing daily and putting out some of the best tech talent out there led by real tech talent/coaches.
