What Boot Camp Alumni
Are Saying:

  • “I chose to attend when the pandemic forced University to close. I thought the program was wonderful at giving practical experience, teaching basic CS skills, and showing me to efficiently work on software teams through the large projects. The loose deadlines and ability to revisit homeworks allowed me to focus on learning the material instead of scrambling to meet deadlines. Compared to college, this more practical [approach] to learning was a lifesaver, and one of the major reasons I got my new job.”

    Alec C.

  • “I chose to make a career change and enroll in a boot camp so I could have the guidance from an instructor and help from a TA. The topics covered are relevant and well-paced, although working full-time and studying part-time is a challenge, but it’s a worthwhile investment if you put the effort into it.”

    Maria A.

  • “After my studies l needed more exposure in development and to catch up with new technologies. I think pursuing the boot camp helped a lot in my career as well as my knowledge. I think it was challenging and it gives some kind of real life-work experience.”

    Enxhi S.

  • “Career Services helped keep me very motivated to pursue career opportunities, especially when I didn’t feel ready or good enough. They also introduced me to tons of helpful resources I never knew about. Finally, they also helped give me advice about how to apply and how to find jobs to apply to (ex: apply even if it says a CS degree is required!!! my current position “required” a CS degree lol) I wouldn’t have found the job I have today without Career Services!”
