What boot camp graduates are saying:

  • The Coding Boot Camp was a great experience. It not only taught me the knowledge and skills needed for web development, but gave me the leg up that I needed to change my career. I specifically chose Case Western Reserve because of the university’s accreditation and due to the fact that it was 6 months. … It has allowed me to change career paths from one that was stagnant and monotonous, to one that is challenging, intriguing and rewarding.

    Matthew K.
  • CWRU [Coding Boot Camp] and its instructors gave me the curriculum and resources I needed to really understand modern web development on both sides of the stack. … I set a goal to become a web developer before turning 27. I knew the effort required would be taxing—but the reward would pay off and point me where I wanted to go in life. CWRU is the core reason I was able to achieve this goal, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to officially start my career as a software engineer.

    JJ D.
  • Although, for me, the Coding Boot Camp led to the opportunity to launch my own tech startup rather than apply for IT jobs straight away, I can nonetheless say that I found the Career Service an excellent experience, which did reorient me from the healthcare to the IT job market, and gave me a lot of invaluable help and advice along the way.
