“REI Systems views Neumont graduates as elite in their field; highly-sought after employees worthy of attractive first year compensation, this is why REI Systems partners with Neumont University year after year in our search for qualified graduates….REI needs more access to the kind of qualified graduates Neumont [can] yield.”
- Scott Fletcher- VP/COO, REI Systems
“Our Neumont project team has been a valuable asset to our team while creating an automated suite of tests for a project which previously consumed significant time to test. Their collective skillset and good attitudes allowed them to grasp the fundamental concepts related to not only our platform, but also a 3rd party framework and produced results very quickly. They asked meaningful questions and then were autonomous except to ask clarifying questions and show their progress.”
- Darren Solomon- Business Analyst, inContact
“This quarter we were at the end of a large 9 month project which was critical to the success of our company. Everyone in the company was involved, from development to testing. We could not have had a better group of interns to help us complete this project. As I told the President of uGenius, 'We could not have completed this project without the additional help from the interns.' We can’t wait for our next group!”
- Travis LaFleur- Development Manager, uGenius
“We are thrilled with our partnership with Neumont University and the technical prowess of its graduates. They make meaningful contributions from week one- the clear result of an extremely practical, project-based educational model.”

"The Neumont project for GTECH was a home run. Far more than we expected them to achieve, and the reaction from our team was overwhelmingly positive. We expect to continue the project in to the next phase with a Neumont team, and build on what they have achieved so far. This was a great start to the relationship. The team that worked on this was (and is) great."
— Don Stanford, Chief Technology Officer and Technology Fellow, GTech
