Pick the track that fits your re-entry
We run four flagship programs. Three are AI / Data; one is BIM (Building Information Modeling) — for civil + mechanical + architecture students and professionals who want a non-coding tech career, often with international placement.
- AI track
Data Analyst
The #1 returner choice — 90 days to a job, designed around flexible schedules.
Returnship-friendly companies (HSBC, Accenture, Bain, JP Morgan) actively hire returners into analyst roles.
Best for: Returners who want the fastest path back to a paying role.
- BIM track
BIM Engineer
Steady, predictable work with no coding pressure — global doors via Dubai / UAE.
Civil / architecture returners with engineering credentials can re-enter at BIM Coordinator level.
Best for: Civil / mechanical / architecture professionals returning after a break.
- AI track
Data Scientist
Higher ceiling, longer ramp — best for returners whose break was 1–2 years.
Strong technical returners who maintained skills during the break tend to succeed here.
Best for: Returners with prior tech / engineering / math background.
- AI track
Gen AI Engineer
Cutting-edge specialisation — best for short-break returners who are technically current.
Demanding pace; rewards returners with prior coding fluency.
Best for: Returners with prior software engineering experience and a break under 18 months.
We know returning is hard
The three blockers we've built the program around
Most edtechs treat returners like fresh students. We don't — here's how the cohort is shaped for the real challenges of restarting.
Worried about skill atrophy?
We've structured the first 3 weeks as a confidence rebuild — fundamentals revisited from a working-adult lens, not a college lecture. You move from "I forgot everything" to "I can read modern code again" inside a month.
Imposter syndrome with 22-year-olds in your cohort?
Our cohorts skew older than most edtech. Roughly 40% of our 2025 returners were 30+. The shared situation makes the room safe. Your work history is an asset here, not something to apologise for.
Need a schedule that bends around family?
Multiple batch timings — morning, evening, weekend. All sessions recorded. Office hours run async on Telegram. You can have a sick toddler day and not lose a week.
