Careers & Outcomes
What a BOLO IT education is designed to open — stated as direction, because the first cohort has not yet graduated and there is no record to report.

How BOLO IT prepares for it
Being capable and getting hired are two different skills.
The second one can be taught, and BOLO IT is being built with the infrastructure to teach it deliberately rather than leaving it to the end of a programme.
A career centre, staffed and permanent
Designed as institutional infrastructure rather than an end-of-programme event: CV and portfolio work, interview preparation, mock technical interviews, and help translating coursework into evidence an employer recognises.
Internships written into the curriculum
In the curriculumA supervised professional internship is a syllabus component of the HND programmes, not an optional extra a student has to arrange alone.
Placement as a measured obligation
BOLO IT intends to hold itself accountable for where its graduates land, and to publish what it learns once there is a cohort to report on. Until then it publishes nothing — no placement rate, no salary figure, no employer list.
A network built before it is needed
Relationships with employers, practitioners and mentors are being developed ahead of the first intake, so the first cohort graduates into an existing network rather than a cold start.
What BOLO IT will not publish yet
No employment rate, no salary figure, no placement statistic, no employer list. BOLO IT has taught no one and graduated no one, so any such number would be invented. When there is a cohort to report on, the numbers published here will be BOLO IT's own.
The founding generation
The first cohort graduates into a network built before they needed it.
