LevelUp
Bridging the gap between classroom and workplace
LevelUp is a series of classes, workshops and conferences for aspiring technologists who want to add to their classroom learning with real-world experience. Topics range from test-driven development, continuous delivery and pair programming to agile project management, business analysis and career development.
LevelUp is a not-for-profit initiative, run by Thoughtworks volunteers and industry professionals.

LevelUp Now
Over the years, we’ve run various in-person programs and events and made great connections with people looking to get started in the IT industry. We're excited to bring you LevelUp Now so that we can continue to share our knowledge, connect and inspire conversations in the current health climate. LevelUp Now is our first online only event. The feedback on our pilot episodes was fantastic and LevelUp Now has moved beyond a trial to become a permanent fixture. Participants will also have the option to view live captioning as needed.
