Most roles are changing faster than traditional programs can adapt.
School16 partners with colleges and universities to translate rapid change in AI and technology into programs that learners can actually apply in modern roles. Our practitioner-taught programs integrate industry context, applied skills, and career development across business, operations, and leadership roles.
By combining ready-to-run curriculum with active industry practitioners, institutions see strong learner engagement, consistently high satisfaction and NPS, and graduates who are more competitive, with the confidence to navigate evolving career paths.
Comprehensive Discipline Overview
Our teachers and mentors provide students with a comprehensive overview of the four core non-coding tech disciplines—marketing, sales, operations, and product management. Learn the day-to-day responsibilities for each role and where each discipline fits into the tech industry as a whole.
Tech Jargon Defined & Demystified
Often, incoming students aren’t familiar with terms commonly used in the technology sector. One of our first goals is to demystify these terms and break down how they apply to the day to day reality of working in tech. Instructors define commonly used business and startup terms and help students match their current skills with the most sought-after traits by tech recruiters.
Hands-On Practical Experience
Sessions consist of three formats designed to provide practical guidance:
Career Development: Learn the critical soft skills necessary to effectively navigate your job search
Case Studies: Discover which systems and tools you need to master to secure the highest paying roles
Experiential Classes: Watch professionals execute their job responsibilities in real-time and apply demonstrated skills to in-class projects.
Access To Subject-Matter Experts
Our teachers and mentors are current practitioners in the tech field, often serving as subject-matter experts and leaders at top technology companies like Facebook, Google, Amazon, and more. Students have access to teacher and mentor expertise during live classes and office hours, developing personal, ongoing relationships that persist long after certificate completion.
Individualized Career Coaching
Like any industry, the technology sector has its own “language” to describe desirable skills and expertise. Learn how to translate your background, soft skills, and School16 experience into a language tech recruiters will understand and demonstrate the value you’ll bring to the table.
What sets us apart.
School16’s programs work across degree concentrations and professional experience levels, supporting institutional priorities without adding complexity or administrative overhead.
Students learn how operators overcome real-world challenges and get an inside look into how successful professionals navigate career transitions.
Learners gain a complete understanding of the most sought-after roles and skills today and learn how to leverage their skills to impress hiring managers.
School16 provides 1-on-1 support from leaders at some of the fastest-growing companies to develop mentorship relationships that extend far beyond their School16 experience.
School16 works with each university to identify student populations that require the most support while agreeing on a format designed to drive the most value and outcomes to the student.
Real-world career development that secures industry opportunities.
We work with each partner to equip students with the applied skills, mentorship, and storytelling confidence they need to land jobs fast.
Each program is led by working professionals across functions like marketing, sales, recruiting, operations, product innovation, venture investment, and more, helping learners translate their skills into the needs of modern organizations.
