At Lighthouse Labs, we believe that having incredible teachers is an invaluable part of our students' success. We are lucky to have amazing teachers who are top craftsmen in their field. Like our students, they are gritty, passionate, and from a wide variety of backgrounds. Unlike our students, they have been working as professional developers for over 10 years and are ready to pay that experience forward. We want to take the time to get to know these teachers a little better.
Over 160 organizations of all shapes and sizes have hired Lighthouse Labs graduates! We're connecting with our employers to shed some light into the hiring process, and learn about their experience taking on Junior Developers fresh out of Bootcamp.

Long gone are the days when developers were considered socially awkward and siloed in an organization. Today, software development is understood as a social endeavour that requires working and learning effectively with others, impacting entire organizations. More than ever before, software development methodologies, designed to improve efficiency and flexibility for products, are being applied to people and teams.
Lighthouse is an incredibly unique, weird place to work.

Devhub is Canada’s first and only education space for developers of all levels. It is a platform for developers to grow together, whether they've been coding for two decades, or 8 weeks. While I can spend hours telling you about all of the unique features of our space (they call me Chief Talking Officer for a reason), I’d much rather try and explain why we started Devhub, and how it connects to everything we believe in.
