About Progression School
Our Mission
At Progression School, we’re on a mission to bridge the critical gap between traditional education and industry demands. We’re creating a new generation of job-ready tech professionals equipped with the skills to thrive in the AI-driven future of software development.
Backed by Axelerant Technologies, Inc., we provide structured, hands-on, and industry-aligned programs in Full-Stack and Generative AI Development that transform learners into confident, skilled professionals ready to make an impact from day one.
Our Origin Story
Progression School was born from a simple observation: despite earning degrees, many graduates lack the practical skills employers actually need. This disconnect creates frustration on both sides—companies struggle to find qualified talent, while graduates struggle to find meaningful employment.
Founded by industry veterans who experienced this gap firsthand, Progression School was created to be the bridge between academic learning and professional success. We recognized that the traditional education model wasn’t keeping pace with the rapidly evolving tech landscape, especially as AI transforms how software is built and deployed.
Our founders’ experience at Axelerant Technologies—building solutions for organizations like the United Nations, Red Hat, and Stanford University—provided the perfect foundation for creating a learning model that truly prepares students for real-world challenges.
The Problem We’re Solving
The Employability Crisis
Despite holding degrees, many graduates are unemployable due to lack of relevant skills:
- Only 51.25% of Indian youth are employable according to the India Skills Report 2022
- By 2025, 50% of all jobs will require reskilling according to the World Economic Forum
- Employers consistently report that graduates lack problem-solving ability, hands-on coding skills, and experience with real-world applications
Core Gaps in Traditional Education
Outdated Curricula
- Most programs fail to cover modern technologies like AI, Full-Stack Development, and Automation
- Curriculum updates lag years behind industry adoption
Lack of Practical Exposure
- Students rarely work on real-world projects before graduation
- Theory-heavy approach leaves graduates unprepared for workplace challenges
Academia-Industry Disconnect
- Limited collaboration between educational institutions and industry leaders
- Graduates enter the workforce unfamiliar with modern tools and practices
The AI Talent Deficit
- India faces a 60–73% shortfall in AI-skilled professionals (NASSCOM)
- Every industry is rapidly adopting AI, creating unprecedented demand for skilled developers
Our Approach: The WISTA Method
At the heart of Progression School’s pedagogy is our Work Integrated Skills Training & Apprenticeship (WISTA) model. Unlike traditional education that separates learning from application, WISTA integrates them from day one.
How WISTA Works
- Learn by Doing: Students don’t just watch lectures—they build real projects from the first week
- Guided Application: Every concept is immediately applied to solve practical problems
- Iterative Improvement: Regular feedback from industry mentors helps refine skills
- Portfolio Development: Students graduate with 5+ completed projects that demonstrate their capabilities
- Workplace Simulation: Learning environment mirrors real development teams, including collaboration, code reviews, and project management
This approach ensures that by graduation, students haven’t just memorized concepts—they’ve experienced how to apply them in real-world scenarios.
Our Industry Backing
Progression School is proudly backed by Axelerant Technologies, Inc., a global technology partner to organizations including:
- United Nations

Student Success Stories
Muneer Ul Haq, Software Engineer
“Progression School completely changed the way I approach software development. Its practical, developer-centric methodology makes even complex topics feel approachable and intuitive. What truly sets it apart is how theory is immediately translated into real-world application through thoughtfully designed projects. Every module challenged me to build something useful, and by the end, I had not only learned concepts but internalized how to apply them in client-facing work. This hands-on, iterative learning style has redefined how I build, how I learn, and how I contribute to teams.”
Sidharth Subramanian, Senior Software Engineer
“Before joining, I was unsure if any program could truly bridge the gap between theory and industry-readiness. But Progression School’s approach is a game-changer. The curriculum is exceptionally well-structured, with each concept building upon the previous one in a hands-on, project-driven way. What impressed me most was the pedagogy—it’s not just about watching lectures; it’s about doing, reflecting, and growing. The instructors don’t just teach tools; they teach you how to think like a confident, independent engineer.”
Himani Singh, Software Engineer
“The classes at Progression School are unlike anything I’ve experienced before. Every session is crafted with such care that you not only understand the material—you feel confident applying it. Even on days when I couldn’t attend the full session, I didn’t want to miss a minute—because every class flows so naturally, with clarity and impact. I’m truly grateful to be learning in this environment.”
