Rising Talent Programs
Learn technical skills with professional mentorship + support
Rising Talent programs offer students training who might need extra support and one-on-one guidance. Programs are led by Generation instructors, mentors, and program coordinators. Smaller cohort sizes ensure each student gets the individualized help they need in the classroom and the mentorship and support necessary to succeed.
