About Buildwithin
BuildWithin was started by a Founding Team of techies, educators and former apprentices who believe in the potential of all people. We know that anyone, when given the proper access, resources and training can move into a career that they are passionate about AND be successful in. Hence, our company motto of "Potential over Credential"!
Potential Over Credential
The story behind Buildwithin
BuildWithin was developed out of necessity. Our team ran a tech start up for many years and we could never find enough candidates who had the technical skills we needed to fill critical roles. So we decided to grow our own talent.

We started an apprenticeship that ended up staffing about 30% of our workforce. We know this model works and believe others can utilize it if they have the right tools. BuildWithin is a software platform that employers can use to accelerate team member productivity utilizing apprenticeships, onboarding & training and upskilling.
