Bridge School’s Impact Report is Here!
Bridge School is excited to announce the release of its 2020 Impact Report. This report reveals measurable evidence of how Bridge is positively impacting the community. We at Bridge believe in promoting a culture of accountability and transparency by presenting our impact data through this report.
The findings were a result of a survey conducted between August 19, 2019–February 18, 2020 to understand the impact of Bridge’s programs on students and graduates. Through this survey, Bridge was able to learn more about the results of our programs and understand ways the team can adapt and improve our services to grow and widen our reach. The Impact Report also provides a clear narrative for outcome-focused funders to see how their contributions are making a difference.
We were thrilled to see some key results, including 76.8% of students go on to get new jobs once graduating from Bridge. One big reason for these results is that our programs include more than just training. In addition to providing advanced technical and design training, the culture at Bridge seeks to instill confidence in all students. Through 1:1 mentorship, welcoming instructors, and opportunities to showcase their learning and leadership throughout the course, Bridge is successfully helping our students become tomorrow’s tech leaders. We want every student to feel comfortable growing and advocating for themselves as tech workers, and we were thrilled to see our hard work in this area has paid off. Students rated their confidence levels after attending Bridge an average of 4.2 on a 5 point scale.
Overall, our commitment to support inclusive workplace practices and improve the career advancement of women, agender, and non-binary tech workers remains at the forefront of all we do, and the Impact Report findings confirm that our mission and program results align.
“Bridge School has accomplished more than we thought possible over the last four years, and our organization could not have achieved our goals or impacted so many tech workers without our incredible community”
~ Emily Porta, Bridge’s Founder and Chief Executive Officer.
