Michael B. Keogh

Director of Business Engagement

Throughout the boot camp, I felt unwavering support from the instructors and staff. I feel confident in my abilities to pursue the creative life I have always craved. I am immensely grateful for this experience, and the positive influence it has brought to my life. I look forward to embracing a future full of new opportunities!

Taylor-Rae Carvalho

UX Design Bootcamp Graduate

The best part of this program was the 9-week capstone project, which allowed us to work on a real project with a real client. I came into this with an English degree, some administrative experience, and virtually no knowledge of UX, and now I feel confident as I begin my job search as a UX designer.

Krista Harder

UX/UI Copywriter @ Scout Digital, UX Design Bootcamp Graduate

There's an autonomous attitude and approach to learning UX/UI design going on here that helps you be a designer and not just learn what a designer does. If you're up for the challenge, you won't regret it!

Mia Kerin

Web Strategist at New Breed, 2020 UX Design Bootcamp Graduate

The curriculum left me feeling incredibly prepared to apply for jobs right out of the gate, and excited to continue to hone my new skills and abilities. For me it was a perfect balance of skill and relationship building, which is exactly what I needed in order to change careers and by extension, my life.

Olivia Hartwig

Software Development Bootcamp Graduate

A year ago, I quit my job and started the Software Development program with ZERO prior coding experience. Within 3 months, I successfully graduated from the SD bootcamp with a plethora of new coding skills and a reinvigorated passion for problem solving. Now, I work as an Assistant Instructor for Upright Education, providing the same guidance to new students that I received when I began my journey!

Ben Villa

Software Development Bootcamp Graduate

The Software Development 12 week Bootcamp was a direct plunge into an exciting, challenging and engaging new industry. The instructor Paul Niemcyzk delivered a technical, honest, light-hearted and pragmatic curriculum, something I really came to appreciate upon re-entering the working world. For anyone with an interest in technology, I recommend reaching out to Upright and exploring their evolving tools to assist in reworking your career. Dig in, work hard and have fun!
