A third of Brightpath students are over 35. They bring something employers value enormously: experience working with people, deadlines and ambiguity.
Your past is an asset
A nurse turned UX designer understands stressed users. A teacher turned developer explains things clearly. Put that in your story.

Build in public
Share projects as you learn. Recruiters notice consistency more than perfection.
Use your network
Most of our career-changers found their first role through someone they already knew.
