Joining Shift_Up is the start of your journey.
On Day 1 we sit down with you to deeply understand your interests and goals, guiding you step-by-step to curated learning resources, saving you time and stress.
Then comes the fun part—learning with others (even online!).
“I signed up to learn a skill, but I found myself staying for the experience. The Shift_Up community is powerful — you won’t find that everywhere.”
We can help you learn:
Web development (HTML, CSS, Javascript)—Mondays and Wednesdays 6:30-9:30pm ET
Game development (Unity)—Fridays 6:30-9:30pm ET
UX design—Saturdays, 10-noon ET
Digital marketing—Saturdays, noon-3pm ET
…and more!
Interested in learning another digital skill you don’t see? We also offer custom 1:1 training programs in areas like cybersecurity, Salesforce, quality assurance, and more. Reach out for more info.
