What are your graduate employment rates?
Lighthouse Labs is committed to helping you build technical skills, grow your non-technical abilities, and land a job in tech—whether in cybersecurity, web development, data science, or data analytics. The demand for tech talent remains strong, with 300,000 new tech jobs created in Canada over the past six years and nearly 1.5 million tech workers today. While the job market has shifted, we continue to see our alumni launch incredible careers.
That said, landing your first job in tech takes dedication, creativity, and persistence. Compared to previous years, the job search process is taking longer, with many graduates securing roles within six months or more. Our Career Services team is here to support you every step of the way—helping you refine your approach, tap into our alumni network, and explore creative opportunities such as contract roles or short-term projects to gain experience.

1:1 Career Coaching & Group Sessions – Personalized guidance plus small group coaching to keep you engaged and motivated.
Workshops & Resume Reviews – Integrated into the bootcamp experience to prepare you before graduation.

A Thriving Alumni Network – With 4,500+ grads in tech, we provide networking opportunities, local and remote reunions, and ways to tap into our community for job leads.
Uvaro Career Support – Additional mentorship, resources, and job search tools to help graduates navigate the evolving tech landscape.
Finding a job in tech isn’t always easy, but the opportunity is still out there—and we’re here to help you every step of the way.
How does Career Services at Lighthouse Labs work?
At Lighthouse Labs our guiding belief is that over 80% of training will be learned on the job, and the first year of working as a developer, data analyst or cybersecurity professional can be seen as paid high-intensity training. Our dedicated Career Services team is here to connect our students with their new roles. They work with all students to identify their career goals, and help them jump from classroom into the real world ASAP to continue honing their skills.
How does Career Services work for International students?
Your ability to work in Canada depends entirely on your eligibility to obtain a work visa independently or find an employer willing to sponsor you. Unfortunately, Lighthouse Labs is legally unable to assist with work visas. Your ability to secure one will depend on factors such as your educational background, professional experience, desired job type, and country of origin.
We strongly encourage you to research your own immigration options by consulting Canadian Citizenship and Immigration or speaking with a licensed immigration lawyer as early as possible.
Our Career Services team will discuss your individual situation and create a plan to support your job search, whether in Canada or abroad. If you are not legally eligible to work in Canada, we cannot directly connect you with employers, but we can assist with resume workshops, technical interview coaching, and networking strategies to help you navigate the job market.
