However, in order to excel in Masterschool’s programs, you will need basic computer literacy skills, and at least a high school level of mathematics, be comfortable learning in English and be comfortable working in a digital environment with technical tools and with numbers.
Will you help me find a job?
We do everything necessary to help you find a job. After all, this is a partnership. Your success is our success! While we will help you find job opportunities and network, we will not place you in a job.

Our programs are designed for people who want to start looking for a new job immediately after they graduate. However, students who may need some more time after graduation before they start looking for a job, can reach out to our team. We will consider your unique situation and try to help.
It depends on the determination and efforts each student dedicates to his or her job search, but most of our students generally secure jobs within weeks or months after they begin their job search. We will support you in your job search no matter how long it takes and are happy to assist you in the future if you are looking to change jobs.
In our experience, students who put their efforts in continuing to develop professionally during the Career Accelerator program tend to shine brighter during the job-hunting process.
