career-prep roadmap for computing students
The FIU Computing Career-Prep Roadmap is a dynamic guide designed to help students at the Knight Foundation School of Computing and Information Sciences build career-ready skills from their very first year. It lays out a wide range of opportunities—including hackathons like ShellHacks, internship programs like Sprinternship™, peer-led workshops, research experiences, and specialized courses—that students can explore based on their interests and goals. It’s not a rigid checklist—it’s a flexible framework that supports students in forging their own path, gaining hands-on experience, and connecting with the tech community. By graduation, students are equipped not just with a degree, but with a portfolio of real-world experiences that make them stand out in the job market.

Student Testimonials
See how kFSCIS students feel about our Career-Prep roadmap
“I wish I had this roadmap when I started—so many opportunities like ShellHacks passed me by, simply because I didn’t know about them. For new students, this guide is a game-changer: it helps you plug into FIU’s tech community early, build real connections, and through its activities discover career paths you might not even know existed.”
Monica Barbosa
Former Sprintern at UKG
“Knowing what to do in your field always seems like finding a treasure chest. As frequently as you hear about opportunities and programs when you’re in the field, new students do not know of ShellHacks or Sprinternship™, making a roadmap like this vital to their success. Giving everyone just that bump needed to feel welcome, and like your actions are leading to improvement.”
