Yes, definitely! Our partners are looking to fill both technical and non-technical roles so prior tech experience is not required. What is required is a passion for the industry and the drive to make the most of the opportunities BreakLine provides.
The BreakLine Mavens track is designed for people from all backgrounds who identify as women.

Many of our BreakLiners identify with multiple communities! Applicants have the opportunity to select any and all communities they identify with in our application. If admitted, you will have the opportunity to participate in all relevant programming.
BreakLine is focused on full-time employment, and it is therefore best to apply when you are ready to kickstart your career search. We recommend applying to BreakLine 6-months before your graduation date.
There is no fee, but we expect participants to roll up their sleeves and hustle. We consider your tuition to be the effort you put into the program.
We partner with top tech companies! You can see a list of our partners here.
We work with participants on an individual basis to help them identify the best areas of focus within the tech industry. Our BreakLiners are in a range of roles, including product management, program management, customer success, sales, people operations, and technical roles, among others. You can see some of our examples of success stories in the BreakLine Arena.
We match our participants with opportunities that are commensurate with their experience and skill level. We work with entry, mid-, and senior-level participants.
BreakLine’s partners are hiring across the U.S. The majority of these opportunities are located in established tech hubs, including the Bay Area, Austin, and Washington, D.C., as well as smaller, emerging tech hubs such as Denver, Seattle, and New York City. Additionally, some of our partner companies offer remote roles.
Though it varies from participant to participant, the average timeline for hiring within the tech space tends to be about 2 months from initial phone screen to offer. Many factors influence this timeline, including both the company’s process and timeline for the specific role you are interviewing for and your availability.
No, BreakLine does not require exclusivity. As a participant, there is no obligation to accept an offer from one of our partner companies. We believe our participants should explore all available opportunities during their transition. Our team will work with you closely as you prepare for interviews and navigate opportunities, regardless of whether they are with a BreakLine partner. When it’s time to accept an offer, you should feel confident that you are making the best choice for you and your family. Your success is our success, and we want you to land and accept a role that you’re excited about. Now is not the time to settle!
