Team

A Team with Integrity

Stage 3 Talent is a hand-selected team of developers, learning experience designers, and instructors with over 150 years of collective experience in technical education. Individually, we are remarkable, but together, we are impactful. 

Team Values

We win, lose, learn & grow – together
If at first, we don’t succeed – we respawn and try again.
We believe that trust is the true measure of a team.
We see “quality” as a state of doing – not a state of being.
