Talent And AI Training, Built Into Your Team
Fellowships pair a top student with your employee
for AI training, mentorship, and project delivery.
WHat is ascendance Foundry?
Ascendance Foundry is built on two beliefs: 1) apprenticeship belongs at the centre of education, and 2) winning with AI demands the fastest workforce retraining in history. Our Ascendance Fellowship embeds a top student on your team after they have completed an intensive bootcamp focused on AI tools. The placement is supported by structured mentorship from seasoned founders, executives, and technical leaders. Every engagement includes co-learning: one of your employees gets access to the full program alongside the student—bootcamp, mentorship sessions, and project reviews. Our fellowships support a broad range of roles within companies, ranging from business functions, to analytics and software development. For larger initiatives, we build teams of Fellows and experts to deliver on projects ranging from strategic consulting to custom application development.

Option 2.
Secondments
Hire pre-vetted Fellows on fixed-term placements: seamlessly add AI-trained talent to your teams. All fellows come with mentor support from our leaders and Expert Network.
Upskill Your Team
For each Fellow you hire, one person from your team (e.g. their manager or colleague) gets to participate in the full program alongside them
(1-week AI bootcamp, workshops, mentorship).
Build Your Talent Pipeline
Unlike big consulting firms or outsourced dev shops, we want you to hire our top performers. Spot extraordinary talent on your project? Make them an offer, and we’ll support the transition.
“Apprenticeship belongs at the centre of education.”
