What participants say
“I have my background in social sciences, so I was at first unsure if I can manage such a program. But I did graduate and I gained a lot of knowledge along the way. If you’re struggling to find your “fit” in the job world, this program is great for you. It also grows your confidence and helps you gain back motivation and the skills to feel more confident in your job search.”

"During AWS re/Start, I got to network, make new friends, get LinkedIn connections and speak to companies where I could potentially work one day. If you’re curious about cloud computing platforms and want to find a place to launch your career, I can highly recommend this program."
Matthew AkindayoAWS re/Start Participant
"This program was different from some of the ones I had attended: it taught way more practical skills, and I got the chance to meet AWS solution architects. We had guidance all the way through our journey: The Shortcut team and our trainer helped us with everything from soft skills training to technical skills. If you are interested in a career change and want to switch into cloud, I highly recommend this program!"

"Though I had prior experience in software engineering, still I gained more knowledge from the AWS re/Start program. The trainer was very attentive and we were taught more than enough topics to clear the AWS Cloud Practitioner test. Cloud is the future and I’m glad I stepped into this area as well."
