Developed by Dr. Rose Shumba, professor, award-winning mentor, NYT-featured expert, and career-change guide who has helped 500+ adults transition into successful tech careers.
Most career changers waste $15,000+ on bootcamps and certifications before they even know which tech path is right for them.
The problem isn’t your intelligence or capability. It’s jumping into expensive training without the right foundation.
The Four Costly Mistakes:
Starting without understanding your strengths and gaps.
Committing to a path before seeing what roles actually involve.
Learning randomly with no clear roadmap or sequence.
Trying to figure it out yourself with no guidance or accountability.
Dr. Shumba's approach addresses each of these costly mistakes by guiding you to build your transition plan the right way — starting with self-assessment to understand your capabilities, guided exploration to find the right fit, a structured framework and tools to build your plan step-by-step, and ongoing support so you're never figuring it out alone.
