I know a lot of people on here don't like them but software bootcamps are very much the startup working at solving the job training problem. Sadly, it is an industry where caveat emptor certainly applies, but if you do your research there are definitely programs that are worth their price.
Check out CIRR.org which reports audited numbers from bootcamps. Good luck finding a university that reports comprehensive, audited, financial and career outcomes for their students. The numbers don't really exist, because it would be, guessing here, VERY embarassing for the universities.
- colechristensen 6y agoI seem to remember being given placement and salary statistics when starting out in engineering.
- gen220 6y agoI got statistics too, starting out in engineering. But based on the surveys I’ve participated in since graduating, I’m suspicious of their methodology... Basically there’s no incentive for their studies to be scientific, and I don’t think they are. Their most-touted metric was “ROI”, which is super vague and highly dependent on in-field job placement, which was measured in a highly suspect way at my school.
