Hey, PH! Over the past year, we've spent time listening to our learners and building a new Codecademy Pro experience that's designed to help you improve your technical skills and future-proof your career. Today, we're excited to announce the new Pro features. Here's what we're releasing: 1) Professional Certifications: After passing all exams in a Career Path, you can now certify your proficiency and prove domain expertise to yourself and prospective employers with a Codecademy professional certification. Professional certifications are based on your ability to recall and apply your skills in real-world environments. 2) Assessments: Throughout each Career Path, certification exams with real-time coding exercises will test your ability to recall and apply skills in working environments, as well as identify areas for improvement. This accelerates time to achieving learning goals and developing job-ready skills. 3) Career Services: We're now supporting learners throughout the job search via a partnership with Handshake. You will get access to a job board with personalized listings and be able to connect with prospective employers and identify your next job opportunity. 4) Improved Technical Interview Prep: We've enhanced our technical interview prep offering with code challenges. Code challenges are based on real-world technical interviews from companies like Google, Amazon, and Meta. Check it out and let us know what you think!

Extending past education into career switching makes a ton of sense — this seems like the logical evolution of the product. When it comes to certifications, I'm a little skeptical. @donte_ll how do you help make this a viable credential in the marketplace?
Donté Ledbetter
Good question, @product_at_producthunt. These certifications include an exam process based on industry standard core competencies. It'll take some time for these certifications to become prominent in the marketplace, but we're 1) making sure learners are actually prepared for the job market through the exams and 2) over time working with learners and hiring managers to boost the credibility and confidence in our certifications.

Thanks, @denis_galka! What our learners love the most is the interactivity of the our platform and that's a big reason people choose to learn with us. The professional certifications is like the icing on the cake, because now you get to actually prove your skills to employers.

The technical interview practice is a game-changer. It's not something you can easily find elsewhere, and it's been really helpful in preparing for interviews.
