Career services
Resume reviews, mock interviews, and 3 months of placement support after you graduate.

Student stories
Real grads. Real results.
Every NookTek student writes their own ending. Here are a few from the last year.
“I came in barely knowing what a SQL join was. Sixteen weeks later I had three interview offers and accepted a $92K Data Analyst role at a Fortune 100 retailer.”
Aisha O.
Data Analyst, Capital One
Cohort 1003
“The capstone projects are what closed the deal in interviews. I walked in with a full Azure pipeline I'd built end-to-end and the hiring manager basically said ‘when can you start.’”
Daniel R.
Azure Data Engineer, Microsoft
Cohort 1102
“What sold me was the mentorship. My mentor was a working data scientist who actually understood the market. She rewrote my resume — three weeks later I had an offer.”
Priya M.
Data Scientist, Intel
