Alumni stories

They started where you are now

No fairy tales — just people who show up, do the work, and let the process carry them. The first stories land here as our first cohorts graduate.

The first stories are still being written

We would rather publish nothing than publish fiction. As our first cohorts complete their capstones and land their first roles, their real stories — with their permission — will be told here.

“CEA-OS is being built to track more than grades — every artifact, every skill, every leap from applicant to hired.”
