We do not publish placement data publicly. We collect placement information for specific State regulatory compliance requirements but do not publicly distribute this information. This aligns with the bootcamp industry as a whole, as there is no standard for measurement and the data is not easily and consistently obtained.

“The post-program job search process was challenging, but I felt that the training I received from Career Services…really helped me prepare for it. One of the most helpful things I learned from Career Services was the importance of consistency in applying and reaching out to people. They emphasized the need to be persistent and not to get discouraged by rejections or silence from potential employers. I took this advice to heart and made sure to consistently apply and outreach to people.”
