Welcome to the Candidate Resources Wiki!

Learning is an ongoing process in the tech industry as technology constantly evolves. While we celebrate your completion of the LaunchCode program, many roles will require continued skill development. Representatives from LaunchCode may reach out with specific recommendations to help you prepare for particular opportunities. In the meantime, we’ve curated a selection of learning materials through our partnership with Pluralsight to support your self-guided training. As a program graduate, you qualify for a free Pluralsight license for up to one year. We encourage you to take advantage of this resource. Please reach out to Career Outcomes if you are a current LaunchCode Candidate and do not have access to a Pluralsight account. If your Pluralsight account is dormant for more than 2 months, your access may be limited, so make sure that you are using this resource as much as possible!

Please view the sidebar for different resources to continue growing your technical and professional skills!
