Help Your Child Graduate With a Tech Job Offer โ Not Just Student Debt
I help parents of college-bound tech students give their child the exact system to graduate with a job offer โ without overpaying for the wrong school, choosing the wrong major, or missing the internship window that closes before senior year.

The advice you have been given was built for a market that no longer exists.
The entry-level tech job market has changed. AI is taking over the basic coding tasks that new graduates used to use to get their start. Employers now want to see real proof of work before they will even interview someone. What used to be a beginner role now requires a portfolio, a project, or an internship just to get a call back.
At the same time, more than one in four Computer Science students switch majors before they finish โ which costs families between $20,000 and $30,000 in extra tuition and lost time. Most of them switched because nobody helped them pick the right field before they enrolled.
And most families wait until senior year to think about internships โ which means they miss the junior year window that, when hit, can lead to a full-time job offer before senior year even starts.
None of this is your fault. The problem is what you were told โ and what you were not told.
You do not need to understand the technology. You need a plan that works.
College in the AI Era: What the College Counselor Isn't Telling You is a seven-module course built from Dr. Rose Shumba's 20 years of teaching students and watching who gets hired and who does not. Every module has a short video, a parent-student conversation, and a worksheet that gives you one real thing to take away and use.

Hear What Module 2 Sounds Like
This is the parent and student conversation from Module 2 โ the moment a family realises their child has been heading toward the wrong tech field. If this sounds like a conversation your family needs to have, the course gives you the tools to have it.
- Your child is a high school junior or senior who wants a tech career
- You want to make a smart college decision โ not just pick the most familiar school name
- You are worried about spending $50,000 to $150,000 on a degree that may not lead to a job
- You do not understand the technology yourself and need a system built for parents, not engineers
- Every conversation about college with your teenager turns into an argument
- Your child has already finished their degree
- You are looking for coding lessons or technical training for your student โ this course is for parents making college decisions, not students learning to code
You are getting help from someone who has spent 20 years inside the system you are trying to figure out โ not someone who read about it.
After 20 years as a Computer Science professor and department chair โ including running a nationally recognised cybersecurity center โ I saw the same thing over and over. The parents who needed my help most were not in my classroom. They were at home, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on decisions they did not have enough information to make well.
The only course for parents of college-bound tech students built by someone who has spent 20 years inside tech programs โ watching who graduates with a job and who does not.
Dr. Rose Shumba holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Birmingham. She is a professor at Bowie State University, a former Director of an NSA and DHS Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense, and the founder of The Tech Academy and Kudzai Edu Group.
She has spent more than 20 years teaching students in tech programs. She has helped her own children into six-figure tech careers. Her work has been featured in The New York Times.
This course is built from everything she learned in those 20 years โ put into a system any parent can use, no tech background needed.

A one-page reference that explains what the experience paradox is, why it affects your child's job search, and the three types of proof that break the cycle. Print it and keep it close.
Ten questions to ask your child before they pick a tech field โ designed to find out what they actually want, not just what sounds good. Most parents do not know these questions exist.
What Students and Parents Are Saying
When I started college I had no idea what I was doing. I got through my first two semesters feeling completely lost โ I did not know what field I wanted, I did not know what employers were looking for, and nobody around me seemed to have answers. My parents found Dr. Shumba's program and paid for me to join in my sophomore year. That changed everything. By the end of that year I had my direction, I had a project I could show, and I applied for internships with something real to offer. I ended up with three offers. I do not know where I would be without this.
I kept telling myself we had time โ that we would figure out the school decision, the major, all of it when we got there. Dr. Shumba's course showed me how much I did not know I did not know. We used the scorecard on three schools we were seriously considering. One of them failed on two of the five signals. We would never have caught that on our own. My daughter starts next fall with a clear direction and a plan. That is worth more than I can put into words.
