CareerFoundry went into insolvency and ceased operations effective February 28, 2026; its site carries a 'CareerFoundry is ceasing operations' banner and offers no courses. source
CareerFoundry sold a mentored, self-paced data analytics program with a job guarantee until it entered insolvency and shut down on February 28, 2026. Nobody can enroll now, and the guarantee marketing you may still find in old threads and directories has no company behind it. If a site is still taking your money under this name, treat that as a reason to stop.

What a careful reader should know

The notice does not address refunds for enrolled students. Wayback captures show the homepage redirecting from February 2026. Course Report marks the school closed and keeps 1,531 historical reviews.
