Our Story
CERTcuit, Inc. was created from a simple truth: talent exists everywhere, but access to skills and credentials often does not. Our founder, after more than a decade navigating corporate spaces, saw brilliant professionals passed over for opportunities. This was not because they lacked ability, but because they lacked certifications, networks, or pathways into high-demand careers.
What began in 2023 as BLVCK In Tech, a social group centered on connection and opportunity, evolved into CERTcuit, Inc., a hub where learning, growth, and professional mobility intersect. As our mission expanded beyond technology, we embraced the full spectrum of STEAM careers, where certifications, professional development, and networks drive economic stability and mobility. Our name reflects that evolution. Like the circuits that power innovation, CERTcuit connects people, skills, and opportunities through structured pathways that keep careers moving forward.
By 2038, CERTcuit, Inc. aims to support 25,000 professionals in entering, advancing, and excelling across Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math. This is about career growth, building futures, fueling innovation, and opening doors that stay open for generations to come.

Our Vision
To support 25,000 people in gaining STEAM career stability and mobility by 2038, building a future where individuals from all backgrounds can enter, grow, and lead across industries that shape tomorrow.
