Some have been here from the beginning, such as Flatiron School, Hack Reactor, and us (to name a few). A lot more.Īccording to Course Report and SwitchUp, two coding bootcamp review sites, there are more than 100 coding bootcamps currently operating worldwide. This worked for the first year or two of our industry. The promise was simple: Attend XYZ coding bootcamp (there were about five of us in the beginning, back in 2013) and have a 95 percent chance (give or take) of getting a job. The rise of immersive education models such as coding bootcamps came in response to the challenges of obtaining a college degree and a job post-graduation. Trust has to be earned-starting with transparency in reporting. Add in the unknown and unfamiliar-such as a new form of education, like a coding bootcamp-and resistance may grow even stronger.
So why do we still covet a college education when the ROI of a $200K degree doesn’t add up? It's a habitual cycle, further complicated by expectations and pressure from peers, friends, and family. Google “college job placement rates” and you’ll find nothing of consequential value to inform you of the job placement rates of higher education institutions.Īccording to a recent New York Fed study cited in MarketWatch, some 45 percent of college grads worked in a “non-college job” (e.g., a position in which fewer than 50 percent of qualified workers need a bachelor’s degree).ĭoesn’t seem particularly trustworthy-nor a good return on investment. Humans trust colleges-but nowadays, this trust comes more from tradition than job outcomes.
Let's Look at the ROI on Traditional Education Glad you asked! But first, some background. Launch Academy is proud to announce we’ve joined the CIRR coalition.
