Participant testimonials from our programs

The recruiting training program was definitely helpful for my career. It gave me the confidence in my own work and also provided better insight for my employer on what kind of job projects I’m most qualified for. In Etteplan I can influence the content of my job well and tackle into tasks that I find most interest. I really enjoy my time here.

Saranen’s Software Academy program was rightly structured with a very detail oriented guided path. It allowed someone like me who had a long break to get back to the industry in a fairly short period of time. In my opinion the program will benefit both experienced job seekers as well as someone who is looking to get to the technology industry without any prior experience.
