Our Fellowship is a four-year journey with training, career-building support, and a community to help you become a leader in the tech industry. It requires a high level of grit, dedication, and commitment. But that’s what it takes to transform your life.

HYBRID IN-PERSON + VIRTUAL
The safety and health of our Fellows is our top priority. While the Pursuit Fellowship is typically offered in-person in our HQ in Long Island City, Queens, we have been operating remotely due to COVID-19. We hope to open our space back up for the upcoming launch in the Fall and offer a hybrid model combining both in-person with live-remote classes. But we will also be equipped to offer all of our classes virtually if necessary. We will keep accepted Fellows updated during the process.
PURSUIT-DRIVEN JOBS
We are working with our hiring partners to create job opportunities just for our Fellows. These companies are pre-committing at the start of the Fellowship to hiring you. You’ll still need to apply, interview, and complete their hiring process. But we’re creating demand for you and your skills.
FOCUS ON FULL-STACK WEB
Technology is constantly evolving and we’re evolving with it. Our classes this upcoming year will focus on Full-stack web development. You’ll learn the skills to build modern web applications and sites.
UPDATED PURSUIT BOND TERMS
We launched the Pursuit Bond in 2016 to help fund our Fellowship and provide our training and career-building services to you with no upfront costs. Starting with the 7.0 class, we are introducing new progressive rates for our Pursuit Bond income share agreement.

MORE THAN JUST CODE
You’ll start with coding fundamentals and work your way to full-scale web development. But code isn't the only skill you need to land a job. That’s why Pursuit’s curriculum is built on three pillars: technical mastery, professional skills, and industry fluency.
A LONG TERM COMMITMENT
Pursuit doesn’t stop when you finish your technical training or even when you start your first job. We offer a four-year journey with training, career-building support, and a community to push you. We’re here to help you build a career and are committed to your long-term success. Plus you’ll discover lifelong friendships, mentors, and relationships at Pursuit.
LIFE-CHANGING TRANSFORMATION
Our purpose is transformation. Annual salaries of Fellows on average have more than quadrupled from $18,000 pre-program to $85,000 post-program. That means we’re able to create a lifetime of change for individuals, families, and communities.
THE COMMUNITY
One of the biggest values of the Pursuit experience is the people. We've created a community that is welcoming and inclusive of people of all different backgrounds, and our Fellows are representative of the tech community we want to create. You'll have the support of our One Big team—your fellow Fellows, our staff, and Pursuit's industry partners in the tech industry—to push you to be your best.
OUR MISSION
We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to achieve the American Dream regardless of gender, ethnicity, socio-economic background, or geography. That’s why we focus on the highest need and highest potential populations.
