Tife
(Cohort 8)
In my one-year program, I did a lot of stuff. I made a lot of friends. I got a lot of exposure that I probably wouldn't get in five years if I hadn't been to Semicolon.
Akintunde
(Cohort 11)
My biggest fear before Semicolon was that I won't get value from the program, which would mean losing one year. I have not only acquired value, but it has also exceeded my expectations.
Joanna
(Cohort 4)
My biggest fear of getting into the program was finishing it and not getting a job or not being good enough. I got a job even before graduating.
Increase
(Cohort 9)
Semicolon really pushed me to my limits. I had to go the extra mile—reading, researching—and it really did pan out for me in the long run. I learned a lot of things and can do so many things.
Doris
(Cohort 12)
I've always wanted to be a software engineer. Semicolon set me on that path and exposed me to what it takes.
