What you see for every candidate

Judge real work, not a CV.

    Every hands-on lab they completed, checked automatically on our platform.

  • Capstone project

    A full project with code and documentation you can review yourself.

  • SSLabs internship work

    The tasks they delivered during their virtual internship, with feedback.

  • Track and certificates

    Which career track they finished and the certificates they earned.

Talent by track

Partnership Models

Three ways to work with us. Pick one, or combine them.

Ways to work with us

Pick a format, not a package

Start small and grow. Many partners begin with a Lab Sprint, move to a Team Cohort, then hire through the Talent Bridge.

2 weeks

Lab Sprint

A short, hands-on push on one skill your team needs now, run entirely in our browser-based cloud labs. No cloud bill, no setup.

Good for: a new tool rollout, an upcoming migration, closing one known gap.

8 to 12 weeks

Team Cohort

Your staff join a live, instructor-led cohort on one of our four tracks, with weekly labs, a capstone project and individual progress reports.

Good for: reskilling a team into Cloud, DevOps, Data or AI roles.

Ongoing

Talent Bridge

Meet graduates through their SSLabs internship work, then trial them on a paid, milestone-based contract with escrow before you make an offer.

Good for: hiring junior engineers without guessing.

How it runs

Map. Build. Run. Prove.

Each stage ends with something you can hold us to.

  1. 01

    Map

    A 30-minute call to pin down the roles, tools and outcomes you care about.

    You get: a one-page skills map

  2. 02

    Build

    We assemble the labs, projects and schedule around your stack, not a generic syllabus.

    You get: a programme plan to sign off

  3. 03

    Run

    Live sessions, hands-on labs and mentor support, online, so people learn without leaving their jobs.

    You get: weekly progress updates

  4. 04

    Prove

    Every lab is checked automatically, so results come from completed work, not attendance sheets.

    You get: a per-person skills report

Partner questions

How much does a partnership cost?

It depends on the format and team size. After the first call we send a written quote; there is no charge for the call itself.

Do our staff need cloud accounts?

No. Practice happens in our browser-based labs, so there is nothing to install and no cloud bill during training.

Can the programme use our own tools?

Yes. Lab Sprints and Team Cohorts can be built around the cloud provider and tooling your team actually uses.

How does hiring through the Talent Bridge work?

You review graduates' SSLabs project work, pick who you want to try, and run a paid milestone contract with payment held in escrow. If it works, you make an offer.
