Three levels.
Nine programs.
One verified pathway.
Pick where you are today, not what sounds impressive. Each Shape level holds three practical programs, built around what companies actually hire for. Self paced, mentor backed, ending with a verified profile.
Foundation programs
For students, early career talent, and self learners who want the day one toolkit. Three focused 21 day tracks, two mini projects each, ending in a verified profile.
Web Development Foundations
The day one toolkit every web developer is expected to know. Build, style, and ship two small interactive projects, reviewed by a senior engineer.
Design Foundations
Visual hierarchy, flows, and components. From a screen you can read to a screen people can use. Two mini briefs from real product teams.
Data Foundations
Read data, transform it, present it. Two real mini analyses with mentor feedback. The minimum a data role expects on day one.

Curriculum, modules, weekly rhythm, pricing, eligibility — the complete Foundation page covers it all in one place.
Advanced programs
For people ready to go from "I studied this" to "I shipped this." Three deep specializations, each running 3 months with real partner briefs, weekly mentor reviews, and access to the recruitment pathway.
Frontend Engineering
Modern interfaces, accessibility, performance, and the patterns real product teams ship with. Three real company projects, each higher in scope.
Fullstack Engineering
Features end to end, from schema to deployment. API design, data modeling, integrations. Three projects building toward a working portfolio.
Product Design
From discovery to high fidelity. Research, flows, interaction design, and a design system contribution. Three deliverables presented to stakeholders.

Pick by where you are,
not what sounds impressive.
Four quick questions to point you to the right level. If you are between two, apply and let the practical assessment decide.
Just starting out
Student, fresh grad, or self learner with course certificates and no shipped work. You want the practical day one toolkit.
You have shipped a little, want more depth
You have done a few real things, but never with a real team, real deadline, or real stakeholder. You want company level reps.
Changing fields, with experience elsewhere
You have years in another field and want to pivot fully. You need foundations rebuilt, real reps, and a career coach for the back half.
Already working in the field, looking for proof
You already have a role but lack a credible portfolio. Highlight your skills via a verified Shape profile, no full program required.
The non negotiables.
Whatever level you pick, four things stay the same across the Shape ladder. They are what make a Shape program a Shape program.
Real projects
Briefs from real partner companies, with real review and feedback. No toy work, no academic case studies.
Senior mentors
Working seniors who review your output every week. Paid for their time, accountable for your progress.
Readiness scoring
A clear, measurable score that tells you and partner companies exactly where you stand.
Verified profile
Public, portable, evidence backed. Your work, your endorsements, your score, in one place companies trust.
