Graduates will be required to show active job applications at least 5 monthly. We’ll support you as much as we can in your job quest through career development workshops, reviewing of your profile from resumes to portfolios and/or connection to our employer network for jobs or internships.
If enrolled in a full-time educational program, the guarantee countdown is paused up until completion of the educational program.
The guarantee window is 6 months if one sits and passes the official certification exam by Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud or Amazon Web Services on graduation. Note that the 6-month countdown starts on receipt of the certification.
