Microsoft Leap

A 16-week immersive program mixing classroom learning with hands-on work on real Microsoft products, across Software Engineering, Technical Program Management, Support Engineering, and Data Analysis. Recruits heavily from bootcamps and non-traditional paths.

In plain terms: This 16-week program helps people with basic technical training and non-traditional backgrounds break into the technology industry. You can apply to combine classroom learning with hands-on experience working on real Microsoft products.

Why I recommend it: One of the most respected career-changer programs in tech. Read the application-process page closely; it tells you exactly what they score.
