\u201cIn 15 years, if not much sooner, half of the roughly 4,500 colleges and universities now operating in the United States will have ceased to exist.\u201d <\/em>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2012, Nathaniel Harden charted a roadmap for education in an article<\/a> titled \u201cThe End of University as We Know It.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reminiscent of the idea of \u2018creative destruction,\u2019 Harden identified technology as the main driver of disruption and innovation in the education sector. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to today, students and institutions are finding themselves on the fast track to this roadmap. At the forefront of this movement are online learning schools and coding bootcamps whose unconventional teaching methods initially drew criticism from academics and employers alike. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skeptics touted the bootcamp model as a flash in the pan\u2014second-class to the traditional learning model and whose rigor and effectiveness in preparing students for future careers was not yet demonstrated. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the last five years, the bootcamp model turned this uncertainty on its head, as more and more graduates entered the workforce. Demonstrating their competency, the bootcamp grads proved it was possible to gain new skills and switch careers without a university degree in hand. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Indeed survey<\/a> conducted in 2017 found that a solid majority of employers (72%) consider bootcamp grads as \u201cjust as prepared and likely to be high performers\u201d as candidates with college degrees. Some 80% of these employers have gone on to hire bootcamp grads, with 99.8% saying they would willingly tap into the pool again.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the growth in bootcamps came an increase in student enrollment. In 2019, nearly 35,000 students graduated from coding bootcamps<\/a>, marking over a 4% rise from the previous year. The rise was attributed to convenient, affordable, and more career-aligned bootcamp offerings.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This has coincided with a loss of confidence in the traditional higher education model, which has been marred by a culture of exclusivity and has steered many students toward debt and underemployment in an increasingly overeducated job market<\/a>.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the bootcamp wars well and truly on, a small number of bootcamps have come out ahead, proving themselves winners with both students and employers alike. Among the industry leaders is Springboard<\/a>, an online learning platform that prepares students for the tech industry\u2019s most sought-after careers. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Springboard\u2019s project-based programs in areas like software engineering, data science, machine learning, and UX design are designed for working professionals who are ready to level-up or make a major career shift. All Springboard courses are 100% online, remote, and self-paced throughout an average of six to nine months.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Makes Springboard Stand Out?  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Springboard<\/a> was founded in 2013 by Parul Gupta and Gautam Tambay. Its creation was born out of the perceived need to double down on skills training in light of the pervasive disruptions in today\u2019s economy. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three things set Springboard apart from other bootcamps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remote-first Learning Culture <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Springboard operates on a remote-first model. Right away, an important distinction should be made between \u201cremote-first\u201d and the widely-known \u201cremote\u201d. Remote-first learning deems online learning as the default mode of instruction. Through this, Springboard reaches beyond campus walls and meets students exactly where they are. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Springboard\u2019s remote-first environment eliminates inefficient intermediaries. The increased accessibility to its resources and materials from halfway around the world lowers barriers to entry for prospective students. This, in turn, allows Springboard to attract a wider student body and thus create a diverse talent pool.  
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its remote-first culture also understands that students can\u2019t be on their computer 24\/7. While Springboard provides clear objectives and expected outcomes, the programs are entirely self-paced. Student outputs are tracked\u2014not the hours they log. This affords students more flexibility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mentor-Led Approach to Education<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Learning in silos can be difficult to maintain given the absence of physical guidance that\u2019s otherwise offered on campus. Enter Springboard\u2019s second talking point. Recognizing that student interaction and engagement are central to learning, Springboard introduced first-of-its-kind mentor-led programs<\/a>. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, how does Springboard\u2019s mentorship model work exactly? 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Springboard experience gives students access to a unique community of industry mentors, thought leaders, and alumni, who are on hand to offer insights, networking opportunities, and support throughout the programs\u2014and well past graduation. Every Springboard student is matched with a personal student advisor and industry mentor who guides them throughout the program through weekly video calls.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before graduation, Springboard\u2019s career services team supports students in their job search, helping prepare them for interviews and networking, and facilitates their transition in the tech industry. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this support doesn\u2019t end when students graduate. All graduates benefit from an extensive support network encompassing career services, 1:1 career coaching, networking tips, resume assistance, interview prep, and salary negotiation. Springboard\u2019s close-knit support system ensures students can make a seamless transition into the tech industry from the minute they start learning until they start earning. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And speaking of money: Springboard\u2019s tuition-back guarantee allows students a six-month runway. This means students can take charge and invest in themselves, an approach that has seen considerable success. Since Springboard was founded, 94% of eligible graduates secured a job within one year, earning an average salary increase of $26,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Financing and Student Employability <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Springboard gives students four avenues to pay for their tuition.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Upfront payment. <\/strong>As the name implies, students can pay for any Springboard course upon enrollment. Depending on the program, paying up front will give students an 11-18% discount from the full cost of attendance.
    <\/li>
  2. Deferred tuition plan. <\/strong>This method works on a \u201clearn now, pay later\u201d policy. With this plan, students will only need to make a $500 to $700 deposit upon enrollment to confirm their seat. After this, they will gain access to all features offered in their chosen program. Tuition payments begin after a student lands a job and will be paid through monthly installment plans. The payment window may be open up to 18 months with payments ranging from $625 to $950 relative to the program. 
    <\/li>
  3. Monthly plan. <\/strong>Students make month-to-month payments only for the months that they\u2019re enrolled. Most students complete the programs within six to nine months. Completing it sooner means paying less. 
    <\/li>
  4. Climb Credit student loan. <\/strong>The student loan model is ubiquitous in the education sphere. However, it has carried a bad rap because of times where it\u2019s been used as a debt trap. Given this, Springboard partnered with Climb Credit<\/a>, a student lending platform that operates on a mechanism that aims to de-risk higher education. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    It\u2019s worth noting that Climb Credit only partners with institutions that have passed its proprietary diligence process. The process, in a nutshell, vets which schools are worth the investment by taking into account the financial and opportunity costs spent by the students and comparing it against the benefits they reap post-program.  <\/strong>
    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Most Springboard courses come with a job guarantee. This is dependent on students meeting the eligibility requirements. If eligible, students get a six-month grace period post-program to secure a role in their chosen industry. If they don\u2019t, they become eligible for a full tuition refund. This paints a stark contrast from the traditional learning model where students are left to sink or swim post-graduation.
    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Aside from the tuition-back guarantee, Springboard also caters to underserved communities through its diversity scholarship programs for women in tech<\/a>, veterans<\/a>, and minority groups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What Courses Does Springboard Offer? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Springboard offers eight \u201ccareer tracks\u201d in coding, data, and design. If any student is interested in these fields but isn\u2019t quite ready to engage in an intensive program, they can still learn through Springboard\u2019s foundational courses.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Springboard\u2019s University Partnerships<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    In light of the pandemic-induced shift to virtual learning, Springboard has partnered with the University of New Hampshire<\/a> to offer two online bootcamps. These are the UI\/UX Design Bootcamp<\/a> and the Machine Learning Engineering Bootcamp<\/a>, priced at $12,500 and $10,278, respectively. 
    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The move is premised on Springboard\u2019s goal to bridge the gap between traditional and non-traditional learning platforms by bringing the bootcamp experience to the higher education sector. Upon completion of the program, students are issued a certificate of completion by the University of New Hampshire and Springboard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    People First: A Springboard Mantra <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The data shows how well Springboard\u2019s mentor-led approach to education works. To date, Springboard has produced over 5,000 graduates from its UX design and data science bootcamps, 75% of whom secured jobs while attending the program. Springboard alums have enjoyed an average salary increase of nearly $26,000 while working at flagship tech companies like Boeing, Microsoft, and Facebook.
    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With the speed at which digital disruption is happening, the college-for-all, one-size-fits-all mentality is losing ground. A recent report<\/a> by Northeastern University\u2019s Center for the Future of Higher Education and Talent Strategy revealed that 61% of employers perceive online credentials as being of equal quality to those earned in-person. What\u2019s more, major tech companies like Apple, Google, and IBM have removed degree requirements<\/a> for job candidates. 
    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When it comes down to it, the lack of a traditional credential, financing, or proximity should not be barriers for aspiring candidates to get their foot in the door. Springboard is helping bridge this skills gap through an innovative, online learning model that puts students first. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
