Getting into tech, or already in it
Whether you're landing your first tech role or taking your next step, DoR gives you a real product team to practise in, and proof of what you can do.
You want your first role in tech
Career changers
“I want to move into tech, but I don't know much about the job or what it is really like.”
Try the role for free before you commit. Then spend a quarter doing the work: the inbox, the meetings, the stakeholders and the trade-offs, not just the theory.
You'll leave with
- A clear picture of the role and what's expected
- A portfolio and case study to show employers
- A reference and a mentoring session to plan your applications
Graduates, bootcamp and course finishers
“I've got the knowledge, but no real work experience to show.”
You know the theory or the technical side. DoR gives you the business side: working with other disciplines, handling pushback and taking a problem through to results.
You'll leave with
- Hands-on work you can point to in interviews
- Experience working with product, design, data and engineering
- A portfolio, reference and certificate
People returning after a career break
“I've been away from work for a while and want my confidence back.”
Parents, carers, anyone who's had time out. A recent quarter of practical work fills the gap on your CV and gets you back into how teams work today.
You'll leave with
- Recent, relevant work for your CV
- Up-to-date ways of working
- Interview stories from your quarter
You're in tech, and want more from it
Tech professionals between roles
“I've done the job, but I'm struggling to land the next one.”
Sharpen how you talk about impact. Build a fresh case study from start to finish, and use the job kit and mentoring to get ready for what interviewers ask.
You'll leave with
- A new case study, problem to impact
- CV and LinkedIn lines written from your work
- Interview answers backed by real stories
People switching roles
“I'm in tech, and I want to move into a different role.”
Designer to product manager, tester to data analyst, engineer to product. Prove you can do the new job by doing it for a quarter, in a team that treats you as that role.
You'll leave with
- Evidence in the role you're moving into
- A reference for that role
- A clear story for why you're switching
People in output-led teams
“My team ships features, but nobody checks whether they worked.”
Feature factories, roadmaps of deadlines, little discovery. See how strong product teams work instead: starting from outcomes, learning from customers and data, and testing before building.
You'll leave with
- Practice with discovery and outcomes
- Ways of working you can take back to your team
- Examples to show your manager what good looks like
Professionals upskilling
“I'm already in the role, and I want to get better at it.”
Practise the habits of the strongest product teams in a safe place: framing problems, collaborating across disciplines, and presenting change with confidence. Then use them in your own work.
You'll leave with
- Modern practice applied to a full quarter
- Feedback on every piece of work
- More confidence presenting and making the case for change
