The pandemic is not isolated to one country\u2014the entire world has been affected. In early 2020, governments ordered lockdowns and social restrictions. To this day, there continue to be stringent lockdowns around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pandemic highlighted the importance of skills development, but the need for upskilling and retraining has been a topic of discussion for years. According to a 2019 World Economic Forum report, 54% of the workforce will need to be reskilled by 2022. This number may be higher due to the businesses that will no longer need as many staff, or who will be unable to afford as many staff, when the pandemic ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coding has persisted\nas a valuable skill, perhaps\nmore so during the pandemic.\nWe saw that online technologies brought us together\nin times of struggle and continue to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After initial slowdowns, technology companies stabilized and resumed hiring, looking for talented people with the requisite skills to contribute to their organizations. Learners across the U.S. turned to bootcamps to gain new tech skills so they could pursue these open jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This report will chronicle the growth of the bootcamp\nmarket in 2020 and seeks to answer\none big question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"purple-callout\"><em><strong>Are bootcamps still a viable path to acquire in-demand skills?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To answer this question, we have analyzed the following areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"orange-callout wp-block-list\">\n<li>Total bootcamp <strong>market size<\/strong> in terms of revenue and student body.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bootcamp <strong>tuition<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Skills<\/strong> students learn at coding bootcamps<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cities<\/strong> where students attend bootcamp<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Venture capital<\/strong> flow and <strong>acquisitions<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Income share agreements<\/strong> (ISAs)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether bootcamps are growing is particularly important\ngiven the current\ndiscussions about employment\nacross the U.S. and around the world. Many people\nhave been forced to reskill\nor think about upskilling.

specifically at student enrollment\nfigures, skills development, and revenue. This research uses the same methodology\nas our last report, with a few exceptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To conduct this report, we gathered\ndata on 100 bootcamps using various sources such as LinkedIn,\nbootcamp websites, and Career Karma\u2019s internal directory of schools. In total, we studied\n44,254 bootcamp students and graduates in the year 2020. We collected data from LinkedIn\non January 15th.\nWe collected data from bootcamp websites between January 15th and January\n29th, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our last report, we defined a bootcamp as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"purple-callout\"><em>An immersive, employment-focused educational program of typically three to twelve months, designed to help adults develop industry-oriented skills relevant to pursuing careers in tech.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this report, we added four criteria for what constitutes a tech bootcamp. A tech bootcamp must:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"orange-callout wp-block-list\">\n<li>Offer <strong>full-time instruction <\/strong>totaling <strong>at least 30 hours per week<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Offer instruction in <strong>at least one technical disciplin<\/strong>e<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have a <strong>campus in the U.S. <\/strong>or <strong>enroll students based in the U.S.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have a <strong>complete LinkedIn profile<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We began by researching the same bootcamps we studied in our last report. (<a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/bootcamp-report-appendices-2021\/\">See Appendix A<\/a> for the bootcamps studied in this report.) We chose this method because our previous list represents a majority of the U.S.-based bootcamps that meet our definition. Through research, we could not identify any significant new players whose LinkedIn data would meaningfully contribute to our dataset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\nhave continued to use LinkedIn\ndata to analyze the state of the bootcamp market.\nThis is because LinkedIn data is self-reported, which means that it is independent of any specific\nbootcamp\u2019s claims and its definitions of what constitutes a\n&#8220;student.&#8221; Further, LinkedIn data is\nstructured in the same way for each school, allowing\nus to define data points\nsuch as \u201cstudents and graduates\u201d and \u201cskills acquired.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not\nall bootcamp graduates\nsubmit data on LinkedIn and some people may submit inaccurate data regarding their bootcamp attendance. But we suspect\nthe impact this would have on our data is limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We could not gather 2020 data on 16 bootcamps out of the 101 we studied from LinkedIn. This is because these bootcamps did not have active alumni pages when we conducted this report. We denote these bootcamps by an asterisk (*) in <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/bootcamp-report-appendices-2021\/\">Appendix A<\/a>. They are included in our list of studied bootcamps because we used data from these schools in our last report. We have included the tuition of these schools in our tuition section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"513\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/All-personas_illustrations_with-shadow-03.png\" alt=\"characters talking\" class=\"wp-image-29738\" srcset=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/All-personas_illustrations_with-shadow-03.png 1000w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/All-personas_illustrations_with-shadow-03-768x394.png 768w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/All-personas_illustrations_with-shadow-03-770x395.png 770w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/All-personas_illustrations_with-shadow-03-20x10.png 20w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/All-personas_illustrations_with-shadow-03-385x198.png 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-market-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"market-size\"><\/span>Market Size<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Coding-Bootcamps-2021-Infographics_2-02-1024x658.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29888\" srcset=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Coding-Bootcamps-2021-Infographics_2-02-1024x658.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Coding-Bootcamps-2021-Infographics_2-02-768x494.jpg 768w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Coding-Bootcamps-2021-Infographics_2-02-770x495.jpg 770w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Coding-Bootcamps-2021-Infographics_2-02-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Coding-Bootcamps-2021-Infographics_2-02-385x247.jpg 385w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Coding-Bootcamps-2021-Infographics_2-02-1540x990.jpg 1540w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Coding-Bootcamps-2021-Infographics_2-02.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2020, <strong>44,254 students graduated from or attended a bootcamp<\/strong>. This is a <strong>30.32% increase since 2019<\/strong>. In terms of revenue, we estimate <strong>bootcamps earned $518,981,000 in 2020<\/strong>. This is a <strong>9.48% increase since 2019<\/strong>.  To see how the market has grown since 2020, refer to our <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/state-of-the-bootcamp-market-2023\/\">2023 Bootcamp Market Report<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the average tuition was lower in 2020 than it was in 2019, the revenue increase is not as dramatic as the growth in student numbers over the same time period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While we cannot verify\nhow many of these students attended school online, the majority of bootcamps studied here are now offering online\nclasses. This is either through a temporary arrangement or as a new program offering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, we have merged our market size statistics into one number rather than calculating a separate online and in-person student statistic as we did in our last report.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Untitled.png\" alt=\"Bootcamp Market Growth\" class=\"wp-image-29863\" srcset=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Untitled.png 850w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Untitled-768x904.png 768w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Untitled-770x906.png 770w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Untitled-385x453.png 385w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Untitled-20x24.png 20w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>We project bootcamps will enroll 64,432 students in 2021. This projection is based on the average rate of growth in enrollments since 2012. We calculated this number by determining the rate of increase year-over-year since 2021 and then using the average of those rates for our projection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our last report, we projected bootcamps would earn $480,900,000 in 2020. We calculated that bootcamps earned $518,981,000 in 2020 according to the average tuition multiplied by the number of graduates. Thus, the growth of the market has exceeded our expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are surely a number of factors that influenced the growth of the bootcamp market. These are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"orange-callout wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Employment uncertainties <\/strong>and their impact on job security due to COVID-19.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bootcamps offering <strong>online learning.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>employment-driven value proposition <\/strong>of bootcamps.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We must note that some of the people\ndefined as students and graduates in\n2020 may have participated in bootcamp corporate training programs. These programs, usually\ndeveloped in partnership with an employer, work to directly train staff who are already employed. This is a method of corporate\nupskilling or reskilling that has become common among a few technical employers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our market size statistic reflects anyone who attended or graduated from a bootcamp program, rather than those who specifically enrolled in a bootcamp while looking to retrain for another career entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-employment-uncertainties\">Employment Uncertainties<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year was full of uncertainty in terms of employment and personal finances.

This has changed.&nbsp; During the early stages of the pandemic, many bootcamps closed for safety. They then launched online programs, most of which are still active.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image-centered\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/general-assembly-logo.png\" alt=\"General Assembly logo\" class=\"wp-image-29745\" srcset=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/general-assembly-logo.png 100w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/general-assembly-logo-20x20.png 20w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Bootcamps doubled down on offering online courses to their students. <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/schools\/general-assembly\/\">General Assembly<\/a>, for example, moved thousands of students to online learning in <a href=\"https:\/\/generalassemb.ly\/blog\/keeping-our-learners-on-track-during-covid-19\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">March 2020<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/schools\/flatiron-school\/\">Flatiron School<\/a>, another prominent bootcamp, made a similar announcement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Turning to online learning allowed bootcamps to remain operational. However, some coding bootcamps were unable to adapt and closed permanently. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image-centered\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"109\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ironhack-logo.png\" alt=\"Ironhack logo\" class=\"wp-image-29748\" srcset=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ironhack-logo.png 100w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ironhack-logo-20x22.png 20w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Successful bootcamps determined how to transfer their services to an online environment. <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/schools\/ironhack\/\">Ironhack<\/a>, for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ironhack.com\/en\/news\/transition-to-remote-education\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">noted in March 2020 <\/a>that it would offer instructor-led, real-time classes, online mentorship, small remote private rooms for group projects, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, bootcamps have been able to\nadapt to the new\nreality of online learning\nbeing the predominant education model. This can be seen by the amount of guidance issued by bootcamps\nnot just at the start of the pandemic but also in subsequent months as circumstances changed. Challenges still remain, however,\nand it is too early\nto tell whether online-only students\nwill have smooth\ntransitions into the job market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-employment-driven-offerings\">Employment-Driven Offerings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The value proposition of staying focused on employment is a\ncrucial aspect of bootcamps\nand resonates with most people who decide to attend. In our studies, we found top bootcamps have maintained a similar focus on employment\nas in previous years, actively\nadvertising how they help students\nfind jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the core of the employment focus is\nan emphasis on projects. These projects allow students both to\nreinforce the theoretical skills they have learned and to practice crucial interpersonal and organizational skills required in a development environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A further benefit of project-based learning is that candidates can show real-world examples of their skills. Projects can be mentioned on resumes,\nportfolios, and in interviews as proof of a student&#8217;s\nabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image-centered\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"106\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kenzie-academy-logo.png\" alt=\"Kenzie Academy logo\" class=\"wp-image-29749\" srcset=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kenzie-academy-logo.png 100w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/kenzie-academy-logo-20x21.png 20w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>We expect to see more one-on-one support offered to students. <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/schools\/kenzie-academy\/\">Kenzie Academy<\/a>, a bootcamp based in Indianapolis, offers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kenzie.academy\/about\/student-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">one-on-one career services <\/a>counseling with coaches from its student services team.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image-centered\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"82\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/sv-academy-logo.png\" alt=\"SV Academy logo\" class=\"wp-image-29750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/sv-academy-logo.png 100w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/sv-academy-logo-20x16.png 20w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/schools\/sv-academy\/\">SV Academy<\/a>, a <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/rankings\/best-technology-sales-bootcamps\/\">technology sales bootcamp<\/a>, even provides <a href=\"https:\/\/sv.academy\/fellowship#coaching\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">career support <\/a>after finding a job, which can help graduates improve their long-term career prospects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/schools\/byte-academy\/\">Byte Academy<\/a>&#8216;s Spryte Sprints model, an experience where students participate in real-world software sprints to get a better sense of how classroom topics apply to actual development projects, helps students learn about agile methodologies.

This tells us which bootcamps were the most active in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\nWe can\nsee that nine of the 10 largest bootcamps enrolled at least 1,000 students in 2020, and <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/schools\/app-academy\/\">App Academy <\/a>enrolled 991 students. This demonstrates\nhow bootcamp operations can scale up to support thousands\nof students.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We suspect these LinkedIn numbers are slightly lower than numbers kept by the schools

A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usnews.com\/education\/best-colleges\/paying-for-college\/articles\/what-you-need-to-know-about-college-tuition-costs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"September 2020 study by U.S. News (opens in a new tab)\">September 2020 study by U.S. News<\/a> found that the average per-year tuition for public in-state college attendants was $11,171 for the 2020-2021 academic year. College tuition may be defrayed by federal aid; such aid is not available for bootcamps. This year, financing options include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"orange-callout wp-block-list\">\n<li>Private student loans<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>G.I. Bill<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Income Share Agreements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deferred tuition Upfront payment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Living stipends<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The diversity of payment\noptions was especially important in 2020 due to the fluctuating employment market. Debt financing is not for\neveryone, which is the main option people\nare usually able to access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This\nis where ISAs and deferred\ntuition are useful.\nISAs offer a more accessible way to finance their education, spreading out tuition after one\nhas found a job earning a salary over a certain amount known as the &#8220;minimum income threshold.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If\nthe student does not find a job, their tuition,\nafter a specified period of time (usually around five years),\nis waived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/educational-living-stipends-for-coding-bootcamps\/\">Living stipends<\/a>, sometimes paired with ISAs, were available at some points during the year. Thinkful, for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/thinkful-living-stipend\/\">offered living stipends<\/a> in 2020. The program gave selected full-time students would receive $1,500 per month to pay for their living costs. The ISA arrangement means that students can feel confident the money they receive from living stipends will only be due if they earn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-income-share-agreements-isas\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"income-share-agreements-isas\"><\/span>Income Share Agreements (ISAs)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the economic circumstances, a number of bootcamps have continued to offer <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/income-share-agreement-market-report-2019\/\">income share agreements (ISAs)<\/a> as a method of financing. For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/schools\/lambda-school\/\">Lambda School<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/schools\/pursuit\/\">Pursuit<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/schools\/v-school\/\">V School<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/schools\/launch-school\/\">Launch School<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/schools\/grace-hopper-program\/\">Grace Hopper Program<\/a> all have ISA offerings. However, some programs switched their ISA programs to other forms of financing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our research indicates that 47 schools offered ISAs as a method of financing to students in 2020. <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/bootcamp-report-appendices-2021\/\">See Appendix B(A)<\/a> for a full list of schools offering ISAs. This list includes schools we have not included in the rest of our study. This is because we could not find data on LinkedIn for all the schools that offer ISAs, but we want to specifically comment on the growth of ISAs in this section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seven of the bootcamps on our list offer ISAs either in part or fully outside of the U.S. These bootcamps are denoted by an asterisk (*) in <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/bootcamp-report-appendices-2021\/\">Appendix B(A)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ISAs have had a year of ups-and-downs. Indeed, the value of incentive alignment is more powerful than ever. In times of economic\nuncertainty\u2014and higher unemployment levels\u2014people need extra assurance\nthat the money they spend\nwill lead to a quality\neducation that results in a tangible outcome, which is employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Schools need to provide a quality education\nand career support;\nfailure to do so will\nresult in students who used the ISA to finance their education not making payments\nbecause they are not earning.\nSchools have an additional incentive to invest in employment\nservices, as these services will help students transition into jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fact that students only pay if they are earning above the minimum income threshold is a proposition that will resonate with many people who are looking to reskill or upskill. The same cannot be said for student loans, where interest accrues and payment is required irrespective of one&#8217;s salary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2020 and January 2021, many\nbusinesses, some of which are not direct education providers, announced new ISA funding or programs. Below we have\ncurated a list of ISA investments we discovered in 2020 and January 2021:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"orange-callout wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/news\/fullstack-academy-launches-income-share-140000140.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Fullstack Academy<\/a><\/strong> (Size of financing unknown)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prweb.com\/releases\/mentorworks_launches_2m_income_share_agreement_isa_fund_empowering_students_to_find_alternative_education_financing_with_their_unique_fund_and_support_model\/prweb17462962.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">MentorWorks &#8220;Fund and Support&#8221;<\/a><\/strong> ($2 million) <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/victory-lap-closes-25mm-in-capital-to-grow-income-share-agreement-program-and-increase-access-to-technology-sales-training-301212075.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Victory Lap<\/a><\/strong> ($25 million)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/burlington-code-academy-closes-10mm-in-income-share-agreement-financing-capital-to-expand-access-to-software-engineering-education-301213570.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Burlington Code Academy<\/a><\/strong> ($10 million)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.streetinsider.com\/Globe%2BNewswire\/Alchemy%2BCode%2BLab%2BAnnounces%2B%245.8M%2BInvestment%2Bfrom%2BSocial%2BFinance%2Bto%2BLaunch%2BNew%2BCareer%2BImpact%2BBond\/17813943.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Alchemy Code Lab<\/a><\/strong> ($5.8 million)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/entity-academy-secures-10m-in-tuition-financing-to-help-women-break-into-digital-marketing-careers-301134349.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Entity Academy<\/a><\/strong> ($10 million)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prweb.com\/releases\/mentorworks_partners_with_boston_impact_initiative_bii_and_ecmc_foundation_on_innovative_income_share_agreement_isa_option_for_diverse_students_in_boston\/prweb17652554.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">MentorWorks Students First ISA Fund I<\/a><\/strong> (For Boston-based students, Capital unknown)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While ISAs were once a novel concept in the bootcamp\nindustry, today they have become an industry standard.

JP Morgan Chase &amp; Co., a financial institution, is on the list of top employers.\nAccenture, a professional services firm, is also on the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That bootcamp graduates have continued to find jobs in well-known technology companies shows that, even throughout the pandemic, top technology companies have been hiring and seeing the value of bootcamp credentials.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"441\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/bootcamp-employers.jpeg\" alt=\"Top Bootcamp Graduate Employers Chart\" class=\"wp-image-29812\" srcset=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/bootcamp-employers.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/bootcamp-employers-385x226.jpeg 385w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/bootcamp-employers-20x12.jpeg 20w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-employment-comparison-with-2019\">Employment Comparison with 2019<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Six of the top ten companies we noted as top employers for bootcamp students and graduates in 2019 were still in the top 10 employers in 2020. This indicates that those employers have been successful in hiring students from bootcamps. To track the change, we calculated the percentage increase between the top companies&#8217; hiring activity in 2020 compared to 2019 for those that remained on our top 10 employers list in both years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {.tg {width: auto !important;}.tg col {width: auto !important;}.tg-wrap {overflow-x: auto;-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;margin: auto 0px;}}<\/style><div class=\"tg-wrap\"><table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0;margin:0px auto;table-layout: fixed;

Amazon more than doubled its hires from bootcamps, for example. We excluded self-employed people from this chart so we can focus on companies. We rounded our data to one decimal place. We can infer from this growth that the companies mentioned above have had good experiences hiring bootcamp graduates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-random-sampling-of-bootcamp-employers\">Random Sampling\nof Bootcamp Employers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>To provide another perspective on the types of companies hiring bootcamp graduates, we conducted a random sampling of all companies that have hired at least 20 graduates. This represented 134 companies in our dataset. We excluded bootcamps as employers. Below is a chart showing a list of 10 random companies and the number of students they have employed. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"599\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/random-sampling-bootcamp-employers.jpeg\" alt=\"Random Sampling of Bootcamp Employers\" class=\"wp-image-29816\" srcset=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/random-sampling-bootcamp-employers.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/random-sampling-bootcamp-employers-768x575.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/random-sampling-bootcamp-employers-770x577.jpeg 770w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/random-sampling-bootcamp-employers-20x15.jpeg 20w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/random-sampling-bootcamp-employers-385x288.jpeg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>This\ndata allows us to learn more about the types of companies\nhiring bootcamp graduates. We can see that it is not just blue-chip companies hiring graduates. Daugherty Business Solutions, for example, is a consulting firm that has hired 31 bootcamp graduates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, we can see there are a few larger companies\nthat have hired smaller portions\nof bootcamp graduates\nthan those in our top 10. For instance, TD, a financial\nservices company, has hired 52 bootcamp students\nor graduates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AngelList, a site for jobs at startups, lists companies on its platform that have <a href=\"https:\/\/angel.co\/job-collections\/companies-that-hire-coding-bootcamp-graduates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"hired bootcamp graduates (opens in a new tab)\">hired bootcamp graduates<\/a>. According to the list, Scribd, Button, Segment, MakeSpace, Agent IQ, and many other startups have hired bootcamp grads. However, AngelList does state that not every role in the company on the aforementioned list is suitable for bootcamp graduates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-top-bootcamps-placing-students-at-companies\">Top Bootcamps Placing\nStudents at Companies<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>We\ndecided to dig a bit deeper into the data to determine\nwhich bootcamps are placing students at these employers. We limited our scope to the top 10 employers\nto keep our data focused\non the companies for which we have sufficient information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is an infographic indicating the top bootcamps that place students at top employers:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"660\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/top-bootcamps-placing-at-employers.jpeg\" alt=\"Top Bootcamps by Top Employer\" class=\"wp-image-29817\" srcset=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/top-bootcamps-placing-at-employers.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/top-bootcamps-placing-at-employers-768x634.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/top-bootcamps-placing-at-employers-770x635.jpeg 770w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/top-bootcamps-placing-at-employers-20x17.jpeg 20w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/top-bootcamps-placing-at-employers-385x318.jpeg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>We can see a few names come up multiple times in this chart. General Assembly, for instance, is the top bootcamp placing students at eight of the top 10 bootcamp employers. Aside from General Assembly, there is a wide range of other bootcamps where a substantial number of students go on to work for top companies. For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/schools\/springboard\/\">Springboard<\/a>, Lambda School, and <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/schools\/app-academy\/\">App Academy<\/a>, among other bootcamps, are all placing students at these top companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As bootcamps place more students with a company, they may be able to develop a closer relationship with the employer, opening new avenues for collaboration. This may involve the employer hiring more students from the bootcamp or attending the bootcamp&#8217;s job events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-top-cities-for-bootcamps\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"top-cities-for-bootcamps\"><\/span>Top Cities for Bootcamps<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While bootcamps are educating students all across\nthe country, some areas have much higher concentrations of\nbootcamp graduates. In this section, we\nfocus on the top cities where bootcamp students and graduates were based in 2020. By focusing\non just the past year\u2019s\nworth of data, we will get a better sense of the current landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\ncan use LinkedIn\ndata to determine\nwhere the students\nwe studied are located.\nSince some people study and work remotely, we cannot say for sure whether a given student\nor graduate works in their place of residence. Even so, this data gives us a rough idea of how bootcamps affect\nthe talent pools\nin various cities\nacross the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we noted in our last report, the top cities where bootcamp students and graduates live are also top cities for technology talent and companies. This suggests that a large percentage of students are using bootcamps to break into well-established labor markets where technology jobs are common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-top-us-cities-for-bootcamps\">Top US Cities for Bootcamps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are the top cities where bootcamp students and graduates study or are now located.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"816\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Coding-Bootcamps-2021-Infographics_2-04-min-1024x816.jpg\" alt=\"Top Cities for Coding Bootcamps\" class=\"wp-image-29862\" srcset=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Coding-Bootcamps-2021-Infographics_2-04-min-1024x816.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Coding-Bootcamps-2021-Infographics_2-04-min-768x612.jpg 768w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Coding-Bootcamps-2021-Infographics_2-04-min-770x613.jpg 770w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Coding-Bootcamps-2021-Infographics_2-04-min-20x16.jpg 20w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Coding-Bootcamps-2021-Infographics_2-04-min-385x307.jpg 385w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Coding-Bootcamps-2021-Infographics_2-04-min-1540x1227.jpg 1540w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Coding-Bootcamps-2021-Infographics_2-04-min.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>LinkedIn classifies each of these locations as an &#8220;area.&#8221; This means the data may include students and graduates located in the greater metropolitan regions surrounding the cities mentioned above. For instance, a graduate of a bootcamp living in Palo Alto may still be classified as a resident of the San Francisco Bay Area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All\nof these cities have access to venture\ncapital, to varying\ndegrees. Venture capital\nis correlated with the presence\nof technology companies\nin an area. More traditional technology hubs like New York City and San Francisco\nhave world-renowned venture capital firms. All the other cities have access to a less robust,\nbut still big, stock of venture capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, $2.5 billion was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bizjournals.com\/denver\/news\/2020\/01\/14\/report-colorado-startups-raised-2-5b-in-vc-in-2019.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">invested across 390 deals <\/a>in Colorado in 2019, according to PitchBook, a venture capital analysis tool, and the National Venture Capital Association. The more capital that flows to local technology companies, the more likely these companies will hire new employees, and the more valuable technical skills will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> To get a better sense of the competitiveness of each labor market, we looked at Glassdoor to find the average salary for software engineers in each of the top regions, and then looked at LinkedIn to find the number of software jobs available in each region. We chose to focus on software engineering because many bootcamps offer software engineering courses. We therefore believe software jobs are a good benchmark for evaluating tech talent in a region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {.tg {width: auto !important;}.tg col {width: auto !important;}.tg-wrap {overflow-x: auto;-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;margin: auto 0px;}}<\/style><div class=\"tg-wrap\"><table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0;margin:0px auto;table-layout: fixed; width: 395px\" class=\"tg\"><colgroup><col style=\"width: 185px\"><col style=\"width: 143px\"><col style=\"width: 67px\"><\/colgroup><thead><tr><th style=\"background-color:#6a6ad9;border-color:#c0c0c0;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;color:#FFF;font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif !important;;font-size:14px;font-weight:bold;overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;text-align:center;vertical-align:middle;word-break:normal\">City\/Region<\/th><th style=\"background-color:#6a6ad9;border-color:#c0c0c0;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;color:#FFF;font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif !important;;font-size:14px;font-weight:bold;overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;text-align:center;vertical-align:middle;word-break:normal\">Avg.

students and graduates are dispersed throughout the U.S. According to the table above, some of the people who attend bootcamps live in areas not known for bootcamps at all, which shows just how extensive the national influence of bootcamps in the U.S. really is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Miami is an excellent example of how there are growing technology hubs outside of the places people tend to associate with tech (e.g., San Francisco, Silicon Valley, New York City). Miami is investing heavily in ways to reskill Miami residents. For instance, the<a href=\"https:\/\/markets.ft.com\/data\/announce\/full?dockey=600-202102250900PR_NEWS_USPRX____NY90490-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" city has partnered (opens in a new tab)\"> city has partnered<\/a> with SoftBank to provide data science training for 10,000 people from underrepresented communities. We can expect that as technology becomes a more important part of our lives, jobs will emerge in more cities that we do not consider &#8220;traditional&#8221; technology hubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The national influence of bootcamps is due, at least in part, to the fact that bootcamps can improve a student\u2019s prospects for high-paying remote work. Many jobs in technology do not require employees to be in a particular location. And the overall trend in the labor force, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20201215005287\/en\/Upwork-Study-Finds-22-of-American-Workforce-Will-Be-Remote-by-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"according to Upwork (opens in a new tab)\">according to Upwork<\/a>, is one in which &#8220;the number of remote workers in the next five years is expected to be nearly double what it was before COVID-19.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But businesses all across the country, not just big technology companies, also need tech talent on the ground. This means that students may be able to use skills acquired at a bootcamp to find non-remote jobs in their local labor market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-top-cities-for-bootcamps-outside-the-u-s\">Top Cities for Bootcamps\nOutside the U.S.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although a large percentage of bootcamp students\nand graduates in the schools we studied are based in the U.S., a significant portion resides outside the country.\nThis is because many U.S.-based schools\u2014or schools that have programs\nin the U.S.\u2014offer programs in other countries. Indeed, international expansion\nis another method of growth for bootcamps:\nthe need to reskill is not confined\nto the U.S., so bootcamps\nshould be able to succeed\nin other markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are the top five non-U.S. cities where bootcamp students and graduates reside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {.tg {width: auto !important;}.tg col {width: auto !important;}.tg-wrap {overflow-x: auto;-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;margin: auto 0px;}}<\/style><div class=\"tg-wrap\"><table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0;margin:0px auto;table-layout: fixed; width: 297px\" class=\"tg\"><colgroup><col style=\"width: 205px\"><col style=\"width: 92px\"><\/colgroup><thead><tr><th style=\"background-color:#6a6ad9;border-color:#c0c0c0;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;color:#FFF;font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif !important;;font-size:14px;font-weight:bold;overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;text-align:center;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal\">City\/Region<\/th><th style=\"background-color:#6a6ad9;border-color:#c0c0c0;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;color:#FFF;font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif !important;;font-size:14px;font-weight:bold;overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;text-align:center;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal\">Students<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td style=\"background-color:#ffffff;border-color:#c0c0c0;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;color:#2B2B2B;font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif !important;;font-size:14px;overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;text-align:center;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal\"><span style=\"color:#2B2B2B;background-color:transparent\">Toronto, Canada<\/span><\/td><td style=\"background-color:#ffffff;border-color:#c0c0c0;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;color:#2B2B2B;font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif !important;;font-size:14px;overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;text-align:center;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal\"><span style=\"color:#2B2B2B;background-color:transparent\">4,800<\/span><\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"background-color:#e4e4ff;border-color:#c0c0c0;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;color:#2B2B2B;font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif !important;;font-size:14px;overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;text-align:center;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal\"><span style=\"color:#2B2B2B\">London, United Kingdom<\/span><\/td><td style=\"background-color:#e4e4ff;border-color:#c0c0c0;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;color:#2B2B2B;font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif !important;;font-size:14px;overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;text-align:center;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal\"><span style=\"color:#2B2B2B;background-color:transparent\">4,100<\/span><\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"background-color:#ffffff;border-color:#c0c0c0;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;color:#2B2B2B;font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif !important;;font-size:14px;overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;text-align:center;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal\"><span style=\"color:#2B2B2B;background-color:transparent\">Vancouver, Canada<\/span><\/td><td style=\"background-color:#ffffff;border-color:#c0c0c0;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;color:#2B2B2B;font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif !important;;font-size:14px;overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;text-align:center;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal\"><span style=\"color:#2B2B2B;background-color:transparent\">2,400<\/span><\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"background-color:#e4e4ff;border-color:#c0c0c0;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;color:#2B2B2B;font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif !important;;font-size:14px;overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;text-align:center;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal\"><span style=\"color:#2B2B2B\">Sydney, Australia<\/span><\/td><td style=\"background-color:#e4e4ff;border-color:#c0c0c0;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;color:#2B2B2B;font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif !important;;font-size:14px;overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;text-align:center;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal\"><span style=\"color:#2B2B2B;background-color:transparent\">2,200<\/span><\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"background-color:#ffffff;border-color:#c0c0c0;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;color:#2B2B2B;font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif !important;;font-size:14px;overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;text-align:center;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal\"><span style=\"color:#2B2B2B\">Madrid, Spain<\/span><\/td><td style=\"background-color:#ffffff;border-color:#c0c0c0;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;color:#2B2B2B;font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif !important;;font-size:14px;overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;text-align:center;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal\"><span style=\"color:#2B2B2B;background-color:transparent\">1,600<\/span><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can see from this data that bootcamp students and graduates are based all around the world.

This is probably for the same reason that many students and graduates are based in large U.S. cities: technology jobs are more likely to be available in cities than in more rural areas. But bootcamp students and graduates are still less common outside the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/state-of-bootcamp-market-report-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Banner_2021_1200\u0445675-min-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"Download Full PDF Report\" class=\"wp-image-29832\" srcset=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Banner_2021_1200\u0445675-min-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Banner_2021_1200\u0445675-min-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Banner_2021_1200\u0445675-min-770x433.jpeg 770w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Banner_2021_1200\u0445675-min-20x11.jpeg 20w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Banner_2021_1200\u0445675-min-385x217.jpeg 385w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Banner_2021_1200\u0445675-min.jpeg 1201w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-venture-capital-and-acquisition-activity\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"venture-capital-and-acquisition-activity\"><\/span>Venture Capital and\nAcquisition Activity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In our last report, we noted that acquisitions in the bootcamp space are common, with a steady number of acquisitions each year. This past year was no exception. In 2020, there were at least four bootcamps acquired by other companies. In January 2021, it was announced that <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/schools\/brainstation\/\">BrainStation <\/a>would acquire <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/schools\/wyncode\/\">Wyncode Academy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bootcamp-acquisitions\">Bootcamp Acquisitions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At the start of 2020, <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/schools\/galvanize\/\">Galvanize<\/a>, a large coding bootcamp, was acquired by K12 (now Stride, Inc.),\na massive education\ntechnology company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.edsurge.com\/news\/2020-01-27-k12-eyes-further-deals-after-165m-acquisition-of-coding-bootcamp-galvanize\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EdSurge speculates<\/a> the deal will help K12 provide technical education to their existing students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the middle of 2020,\nFlatiron School was acquired\nby Carrick Capital\nPartners, a software\ninvestor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flatiron School has been a big\nplayer in the bootcamp industry for years. But it was being held back\nby WeWork, which notoriously had issues raising capital\nafter going public\nin 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ongoing growth of Flatiron School in spite of WeWork\u2019s troubles was one of the reasons that Carrick Capital Partners decided to invest. With this acquisition, Flatiron School <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2020\/06\/30\/wework-sells-flatiron-school-to-carrick-capital-partners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">expects to keep<\/a> all of its 400 employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three months later, The Hacker School, a cybersecurity bootcamp based in India, merged with iCollege Australia for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition will help iCollege offer <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/in\/news-releases\/icollege-australia-acquires-majority-stake-in-hyderabad-based-the-hacking-school-india-s-first-coding-bootcamp-827680632.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">accredited cybersecurity programs<\/a> to its students, according to the press release announcing the acquisition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In November, <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/schools\/tech-elevator\/\">Tech Elevator<\/a> was acquired by Stride in an all-cash transaction. In a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"press release for the acquisition (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.techelevator.com\/press\/stride\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">press release for the acquisition<\/a>, Tech Elevator notes it will be &#8220;combining forces&#8221; with both Stride and Galvanize, Stride\u2019s other bootcamp acquisition in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In March 2021, Kenzie Academy was acquired by Southern\nNew Hampshire University (SNHU), a prominent\nbootcamp. According to an article by the Indiana Business\nJournal, Kenzie Academy will become a not-for-profit division of SNHU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These acquisitions show\nthat consolidation is ongoing in the bootcamp space. We expect the present rate of acquisitions to continue as higher\neducation companies realize the potential in bootcamps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/bootcamp-report-appendices-2021\/\">See Appendix C<\/a> for a full list of acquisitions in the bootcamp market from 2012 to 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bootcamp-venture-capital-rounds\">Bootcamp Venture Capital\nRounds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The majority of for-profit bootcamps depend on venture capital to fund their growth. This capital allows companies to scale quicker than is usually possible with loans and personal funds. Since venture capitals usually invest in high-growth industries, we can infer that investors expect continued growth in the bootcamp space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">@media screen and

up all the rounds, we calculate that at least $234.3 million was invested in bootcamps in 2020. For context, this is slightly lower than the $241.3 million invested in bootcamps in 2019, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.holoniq.com\/notes\/a-decade-of-coding-bootcamp-funding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">as reported by HolonIQ<\/a>. The average venture capital round in 2020 was $19.5 million. There might have been other venture capital rounds in 2020 that did not turn up in our research of publicly-available information on venture financing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking to the immediate future, an <a href=\"https:\/\/hbswk.hbs.edu\/item\/covid-not-slowing-vc-investment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">article by Harvard Business School<\/a> (HBS) noted that COVID-19 is &#8220;not slowing VC investment.&#8221; Paul A. Gompers, Eugene Holman Professor of Business Administration at HBS, points out that most venture capital investors \u201care looking to do new deals&#8221; and that they are \u201csitting on a ton of money.\u201d What is more, 91 percent of venture investors &#8220;expect their investments to outperform major equity indexes going forward.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lambda School, Le Wagon, Springboard, and\n<a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/schools\/microverse\/\">Microverse <\/a>all raised capital. The first three of these bootcamps raised\ndouble- digit rounds, showing that\ncapital is still flowing into the\nbootcamp industry in large amounts.\nThe well-known names attached to\nthese rounds, such as Gigafund and General Catalyst, show that even big investors are still interested\nin bootcamps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notably, seven rounds were raised by bootcamps based in countries\nother than the U.S. These were raised by Masai School, Newton School (which raised two rounds), Henry, <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/schools\/ironhack\/\">Ironhack<\/a>, HackerU, and Crehana. This shows that there is international interest\nin bootcamps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While many students have been learning online as a result of the pandemic, online learning is still not perfect. There is still a long way to go before online learning will be able to navigate all the inherent challenges, from finding the best ways to communicate to remote collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-impact-of-covid-19-on-bootcamps\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"the-impact-of-covid-19-on-bootcamps\"><\/span>The Impact of COVID-19 on Bootcamps<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier in this report,\nwe noted that bootcamps have continued to grow despite the numerous\nchallenges brought forth\nby COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-transition-to-online-learning\">A Transition to Online Learning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bootcamps adapted to this\npandemic with a simple overriding message: you are to learn online for the foreseeable future.

Bootcamps have\nadapted to use technologies like Zoom and Microsoft Teams to facilitate\nclasses. This has helped some bootcamps experiment\nwith online learning in ways that they otherwise would not have done. Now most\nbootcamps know the potential of online learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given that more people enrolled in bootcamps in 2020 despite the pandemic, we can infer that many see online learning as a valid method of acquiring technical skills. One question does remain, however: will this continue? As restrictions loosen, students may once again opt for in-person offerings, and bootcamps may reinstate their in-person programs. <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/schools\/launch-academy\/\">Launch Academy<\/a> has planned a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/launchacademy.com\/take-a-deeper-look-at-launch-academys-hybrid-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hybrid course<\/a>, part online and part in-person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that in mind, bootcamps that are planning to move back to in-person offerings are a reminder that COVID-19 was a so-called &#8220;forced experiment&#8221; in online learning. According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/gsv-ventures\/dawn-of-the-age-of-digital-learning-4c4e38784226\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">report by GSV Ventures<\/a>, the online learning market has grown to be worth $160 billion in total as of 2020.

Dropbox is one example of a company that announced it was going to move to an online-first policy,\nfavoring remote work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many employers are considering whether to continue allowing employees to work from home even after the pandemic is over. A <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hrdive.com\/news\/gartner-over-80-of-company-leaders-plan-to-permit-remote-work-after-pande\/581744\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">survey by Gartner found<\/a> that over 80% of &#8220;company leaders&#8221; plan to let their employees work from home at least part-time after the pandemic. Similarly, a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/hybrid-workforce-tech-companies-future\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report from WIRED<\/a> indicates that more employers may offer workers a choice between coming into the office and working remotely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While many companies will go back to in-person work when possible, it is clear remote work will continue. How does this affect bootcamps? As more companies embrace remote work, bootcamps will have to adapt their curricula. The curricula from 2020 are a good start, as bootcamps have amassed experience using some of the same technologies to teach students that companies use to facilitate remote work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tech-companies-continued-to-hire-after-a-rough-start\">Tech\nCompanies Continued to Hire (After a Rough Start)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some industries have been more\naffected by COVID-19 than others, and the technology industry\nhas had its fair share\nof issues. With that said,\ntechnology companies have continued to hire, which has left bootcamps with a labor pool they can continue to serve. Indeed, as\nmore people look for jobs\u2014and as people\ncontinue to lose jobs\u2014bootcamps can solidify their reputation as a valuable\ncareer transitioning tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In early 2020, when economic conditions were still unsettled, there were concerns about the stability of employment in the technology industry. Many companies stopped hiring. Companies like Candor started lists of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"hiring freezes (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/candor.co\/hiring-freezes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hiring freezes<\/a> to keep track of tech companies that were conducting layoffs or were no longer hiring. Indeed, the stock market crashed in March 2020 as a result of the pandemic, which helps us understand the initial downturn in hiring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite these uncertainties, a substantial portion of tech companies are still hiring. We collected data from LinkedIn to get an insight into the number of open tech jobs as of the writing of this report. In early February 2021, we found: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {.tg {width: auto !important;}.tg col {width: auto !important;}.tg-wrap {overflow-x: auto;-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;margin: auto 0px;}}<\/style><div class=\"tg-wrap\"><table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0;margin:0px auto;table-layout: fixed; width: 290px\" class=\"tg\"><colgroup><col style=\"width: 186px\"><col style=\"width: 104px\"><\/colgroup><thead><tr><th style=\"background-color:#6a6ad9;border-color:#c0c0c0;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;color:#FFF;font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif !important;;font-size:14px;font-weight:bold;overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;text-align:center;vertical-align:middle;word-break:normal\">Tech Field<\/th><th style=\"background-color:#6a6ad9;border-color:#c0c0c0;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;color:#FFF;font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif !important;;font-size:14px;font-weight:bold;overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;text-align:center;vertical-align:middle;word-break:normal\">Open Jobs<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td style=\"background-color:#ffffff;border-color:#c0c0c0;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif !important;;font-size:14px;overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;text-align:center;vertical-align:middle;word-break:normal\">Software Engineering<\/td><td style=\"background-color:#ffffff;border-color:#c0c0c0;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;color:#2B2B2B;font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif !important;;font-size:14px;overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;text-align:center;vertical-align:middle;word-break:normal\">105,373<\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"background-color:#e4e4ff;border-color:#c0c0c0;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif !important;;font-size:14px;overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;text-align:center;vertical-align:middle;word-break:normal\">Data Analytics<\/td><td style=\"background-color:#e4e4ff;border-color:#c0c0c0;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;color:#2B2B2B;font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif !important;;font-size:14px;overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;text-align:center;vertical-align:middle;word-break:normal\">40,836<\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"background-color:#ffffff;border-color:#c0c0c0;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif !important;;font-size:14px;overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;text-align:center;vertical-align:middle;word-break:normal\">Data Science<\/td><td style=\"background-color:#ffffff;border-color:#c0c0c0;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;color:#2B2B2B;font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif !important;;font-size:14px;overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;text-align:center;vertical-align:middle;word-break:normal\">23,909<\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"background-color:#e4e4ff;border-color:#c0c0c0;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif !important;;font-size:14px;overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;text-align:center;vertical-align:middle;word-break:normal\">Web Development<\/td><td style=\"background-color:#e4e4ff;border-color:#c0c0c0;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;color:#2B2B2B;font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif !important;;font-size:14px;overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;text-align:center;vertical-align:middle;word-break:normal\">13,651<\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"background-color:#ffffff;border-color:#c0c0c0;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif !important;;font-size:14px;overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;text-align:center;vertical-align:middle;word-break:normal\">UI Design<\/td><td style=\"background-color:#ffffff;border-color:#c0c0c0;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;color:#2B2B2B;font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif !important;;font-size:14px;overflow:hidden;padding:10px 5px;text-align:center;vertical-align:middle;word-break:normal\">4,216<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this data is only a snapshot in time, it clearly shows that the demand for labor in the technology\nindustry remains high. Furthermore, the top search results included job posts from Facebook,\nAdobe, Peloton, and Tesla, which suggests that even top companies are hiring actively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further evidence of this phenomenon comes from a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/louiscolumbus\/2020\/12\/20\/the-best-tech-companies-for-remote-jobs-in-2021-according-to-glassdoor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">report in Forbes<\/a>, which cites Glassdoor data showing that 960 information technology companies are actively hiring amid the pandemic. This surge features companies like Rackspace, Fastly, and Datadog, all established technology companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the relative health of the technology industry,\nit should come as no surprise that bootcamps have continued to thrive. Importantly, they have helped\nstudents find jobs in technology, even at top companies like Microsoft and Accenture. See the &#8220;Top\nBootcamp Employers&#8221; section\nfor more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This\ndata lends credence\nto the idea that bootcamps\nare an attractive option for those who want to be prepared quickly for a job in tech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, the full range of services\nthat bootcamps offer may make them more valuable than traditional alternatives during times of economic stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the coding education they provide, they also place a significant emphasis on career support, from resume reviews to one-on-one career coaching. These services help bridge the gap between education and employment, which sets them apart from colleges that train students in computer science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bootcamp-scholarships\">Bootcamp Scholarships<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Historically, bootcamps have used scholarship programs\nto help disadvantaged or otherwise insolvent\nstudents finance part or all of their education. These programs have usually been geared toward\npromoting diversity in a bootcamp.\nFor instance, Coder Academy covers 50% of the tuition\nof all people who are accepted on their Women In\nTech Scholarship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>COVID-19 has brought financial hardship to many, especially to those from non-white groups. For instance, 44% of black Americans said in April that \u201cthey or someone in their household had experienced a job or wage loss due to the coronavirus outbreak.&#8221; This is eight percent higher than the number of white adults who reported this concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The value of scholarships varies between bootcamps. Most are in the range of $1,000 to $5,000, with some schools offering <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/best-free-coding-bootcamps\/\">free tuition<\/a> to some students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Promineo Tech offered free education\nto successful applicants of its Promineo\nTech Scholarship Program.\nSpringboard offered $3,000 and $4,000 scholarships out of its $500,000 scholarship fund.\nThis program alone promised\nto finance 10 tuition\nfees each month\nuntil the fund expires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These scholarship programs show how willing many bootcamps\nhave been to provide financial support to those in\nneed during the pandemic. While some\nscholarship programs were only temporary, the amount of money given out has gone a long way to help\nthose who were\u2014or who still are\u2014 financially constrained by the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pandemic, of course, is not over. Many people still face uncertainties about their jobs and income, and people from minority groups have been hit hardest. For these reasons, we expect bootcamps will continue to offer scholarships in the future, both on the basis of financial hardship and in the interests of diversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-looking-forward-bootcamps-in-2021\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"looking-forward-bootcamps-in-2021\"><\/span>Looking Forward: Bootcamps\nin 2021<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bootcamps have proven their ability\nto teach in-demand skills, as evidenced by the high caliber\nof companies at which graduates\nwork and the continually high rates of bootcamp enrollment. The\nindustry has, on the whole, adapted to\nthe new circumstances brought forth by the pandemic, shifting to online learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is one big question left: what can we expect in the coming year and beyond?\nWhile much is uncertain, we have a few projections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-continued-focus-on-online-learning\">Continued Focus on Online Learning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As infection rates of COVID-19 increased around the world, it became clear that social distancing was needed to protect the vulnerable. This forced\na switch to online learning formats for all educational establishments, from colleges to bootcamps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bootcamps have rapidly iterated and experimented with new methods of teaching in response to pandemic restrictions. Whereas some schools did stop accepting students altogether, the majority of schools modified their offerings to support online learning. Technologies such as Slack, Zoom, and GitHub were used to facilitate remote learning, even by bootcamps that had not previously offered online learning programs to their students. As a result, students could still acquire technology skills without having to be in a physical classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the aftermath of this forced experiment, the bootcamp market will eventually reach a new equilibrium of learning formats. Some bootcamps will transition back to in-person offerings as soon as it is safe to do so, and we are seeing signs of this already. We still expect online options to be available for most bootcamps, even for those that start to offer in-person courses again. Alternatively, bootcamps could increase the availability of so-called hybrid options. <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/schools\/nucamp\/\">Nucamp<\/a>&#8216;s Baltimore campus already offers a&nbsp; mixture of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/technical.ly\/baltimore\/2019\/09\/24\/nucamp-brings-hybrid-coding-bootcamp-model-to-baltimore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in-person and online<\/a> offerings. <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/schools\/digitalcrafts\/\">DigitalCrafts<\/a>, meanwhile, is actively <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"offering hybrid options (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.digitalcrafts.com\/blog\/letter-our-ceo-hybrid-learning-covid-era\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">offering hybrid options<\/a> in response to the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It remains to be seen how common hybrid models will become. On the one hand, hybrid education is attractive to students who would prefer to spend some time learning on a physical campus. On the other hand, because such models require students to live near a campus, many bootcamps will not have the resources to recruit from a small pool of local candidates. It may be more feasible to go fully online like Lambda School, which is free to target people across the U.S. With that said, not everyone is interested in learning completely online, so hybrid programs may become more common as restrictions ease. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the past, online learning was a competitive advantage, as comparatively few bootcamps were fully or mostly online. While some new online programs may not stick, we expect many bootcamps will continue to accommodate students who are not comfortable with in-person learning, or who would prefer to learn online. As remote learning becomes part of the new normal, we anticipate online courses will be less of a selling point than they once were. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-new-employer-as-payer-training-programs\">New Employer-as-Payer Training Programs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For many, bootcamps\nand similar training\nprograms are a gateway into a new career in technology. Others, however, use bootcamps for reskilling and upskilling. In fact, some bootcamps offer corporate training programs for workers who want to reskill and upskill. Whereas\nreskilling refers to completely retraining workers in new skills, upskilling involves learning skills that build upon what workers already\nknow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over\nthe last few years, companies\nhave shown steady interest in financing technical\ntraining programs for their workers. Their goal is to prepare for changes in the industry\nby helping their current staff remain efficient contributors to their organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Companies choose to invest in their own employees because it is the smart play. According to a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shrm.org\/about-shrm\/press-room\/press-releases\/pages\/human-capital-benchmarking-report.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2016 study<\/a> by the Society for Human Resource Management, it costs an average of $4,129 to hire a new employee, and it takes an average of 42 days to find a new hire. Delays caused by handling unexpected turnover, managing onboarding paperwork, and training new employees all contribute to the time it takes to find and onboard new hires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While training does take time, the investment in training is long-term. Newly-\ntrained workers will have the skills they need to respond to imminent workplace\nchanges (e.g., the use of new technologies), and have a better understanding of the tasks that will occupy their time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A big benefit of investing in employee training is that it boosts employee retention. LinkedIn&#8217;s 2018 <a href=\"https:\/\/learning.linkedin.com\/resources\/workplace-learning-report-2018\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Workforce Learning and Development Report<\/a> noted that 94% of employees would stay longer at a company that invested in their career. The higher the retention rate, the less time and money the company has to invest in finding, onboarding, and training new employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some training providers, like Learn In, specialize in upskilling-as-a-service. While not specifically a bootcamp, Learn In helps companies improve the technical skills of their employees. Learn In believes that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.learnin.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">upskilling attracts and retains talent<\/a>, a key selling point for clients. Guild Education operates a similar program, styled as &#8220;education as a benefit.&#8221; It partners with universities and other education providers to help companies find training programs for their employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some bootcamps, like <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/schools\/coding-dojo\/\">Coding Dojo<\/a> and&nbsp; Le Wagon, offer programs specifically for companies that want to train their staff. These programs range in implementations. Coding Dojo provides a 12-to-14-week training program, which is perhaps more suitable for reskilling workers.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image-centered\">\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"57\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/coding-dojo-logo.png\" alt=\"Coding Dojo logo\" class=\"wp-image-29826\" srcset=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/coding-dojo-logo.png 150w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/coding-dojo-logo-20x8.png 20w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>In these arrangements, a bootcamp will provide onsite or online training to a company&#8217;s\nemployees. The corporate training program usually\nresembles the bootcamp&#8217;s regular programs, which means employers\ncan expect their employees\nto graduate with a diverse set of hard and soft\nskills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flatiron School has an extensive\nrange of corporate training services. On its\nwebsite, Flatiron School notes that it provides help with onboarding\ntraining, reskilling, upskilling, and\nmore. Its onboarding training helps an employee learn about the specific technologies the company uses on a day-to-day\nbasis. Its upskilling courses are\nshort-term, designed to boost employee skills; reskilling programs\nare longer, focused\non helping people\nbuild skills in new technical\nareas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\ncase of Flatiron\nSchool demonstrates that most corporate training programs still have room to grow. Bootcamps that\nalready have upskilling solutions may follow in the footsteps\nof Flatiron School, expanding their offerings to cover areas like\nonboarding and other training needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the urgent need for reskilling, we expect more bootcamps to launch corporate training programs in the coming years. A <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/agenda\/2020\/01\/reskilling-revolution-jobs-future-skills\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2020 report<\/a> by the World Economic Forum estimated that 42% of the &#8220;core skills&#8221; needed to perform existing jobs will have changed by 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One potential obstacle to growth in this area is that corporate training is a slightly different model than consumer-focused training. Bootcamps must handle huge accounts rather than, or in addition to, advertising to consumers. With that said, the clear demand for reskilling in technical skills makes expansion a viable proposition. Since bootcamps are already well-positioned to educate people in technical skills, corporate training is a logical next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-differentiation-through-new-niches-and-specializations\">Differentiation Through New Niches and Specializations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many\nbootcamps, especially newer players, are devoted to a specific\nniche, many\nof which are underserved by existing bootcamps. By focusing on one area\nand doing it well, a bootcamp can make a name for itself in that area, at\nleast until competitors start to eat away at its market share. Then, the company can use its growth to expand into\nnew offerings, such as additional courses\nor new career services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One market ripe for growth is cybersecurity training. According to the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"Bureau of Labour Statistics (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/ooh\/computer-and-information-technology\/information-security-analysts.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bureau of Labour Statistics<\/a>, jobs in <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/careers\/information-security-analyst\/\">information security analysis<\/a> are expected to grow 31% between 2019 and 2029, which the Bureau describes as &#8220;much faster than average.&#8221; Given this projected growth, it is clear bootcamps have an opportunity to meet the coming need for cybersecurity skills training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some bootcamps, like <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/schools\/evolve-security-academy\/\">Evolve Security Academy<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/schools\/secureset-academy\/\">SecureSet Academy<\/a>, already fill this niche. And in 2020, HackerU, a cybersecurity bootcamp, <a href=\"https:\/\/olathe.k-state.edu\/about\/news\/2020\/november\/cyber-bootcamps-offered-to-fill-job-vacanies-in-kansas-missouri.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"announced a partnership (opens in a new tab)\">announced a partnership<\/a> with Kansas State University&#8217;s Olathe campus to offer cybersecurity courses, which is one example of the ongoing interest in cybersecurity training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A similarly promising market lies in <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/rankings\/best-technology-sales-bootcamps\/\">technology sales bootcamps<\/a>. In 2020, numerous bootcamps such as <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/prehired-review\/\">Prehired<\/a>, SV Academy, and Flockjay offered short-term, career-oriented courses in technology sales. As a representative example, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"Flockjay\u2019s 10- week course (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/flockjay.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flockjay\u2019s 10-week course<\/a> in technology sales covers inbound sales, outbound sales, learning technical sales software, and more. Its career services include interview and job searching support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our analysis from LinkedIn data does\nnot give a complete picture of these bootcamps\ndue to the lack of available alumni data. However, we see technology sales bootcamps as an\nopportunity for expansion in the industry. Whereas\nmost of the established players continue to target more traditional coding roles\u2014like web development, data science, and software engineering\u2014 there are comparatively few bootcamps pursuing\ntechnology sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-new-university-bootcamp-partnerships\">New University-Bootcamp Partnerships<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dozens of universities across the U.S. offer in-house bootcamps. In our last report, we noted that Trilogy Education is a leading player in this market. Trilogy offers programs in web development, data analytics and visualization, UX\/UI design, and cybersecurity, which it hosts on dozens of campuses, including the University of Oregon, the University of Pennsylvania, and UCLA Extension. This year, our research indicates more bootcamps are offering programs in partnership with universities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>University partnerships with education companies are increasingly common. At the end of Q3 2020, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.holoniq.com\/notes\/1377-university-partnerships.-opms-bootcamps-and-the-academic-ppp-acceleration.\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">according to education research firm HolonIQ<\/a>, \u201cover 770 Universities across the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, India and a handful of other markets have established long-term public-private partnerships for academic programs.\u201d In the first three quarters of 2020 alone, there were 73 new partnerships between universities and bootcamps. This is a significant increase over the 49 partnerships formed in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notably, HolonIQ found that university- bootcamp partnerships are not confined\nto any particular size of university.\nWith the exception of &#8220;very small&#8221; universities, partnerships are common with universities of all sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This suggests that bootcamp-university partnerships are not just a path for small schools to reach a bigger audience: medium and large schools benefit as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of the university-bootcamp partnerships from 2020 and 2021 made headlines. In January 2021, Arizona State University announced a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"partnership with Chegg (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20210126006059\/en\/Arizona-State-University-and-Chegg-Announce-Innovative-New-Partnership-to-Expand-Access-for-In-Demand-Advanced-Skills-Programs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">partnership with Chegg<\/a>, which acquired Thinkful in 2019. Graduates earn a professional certificate from Arizona State University, rather than a traditional certificate from the bootcamp. Also in January, Springboard partnered with the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/extension.ucsd.edu\/news-and-events\/media-room\/Press-Releases\/Springboard-Announces-Remote-Learning-Partnership\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UC San Diego Extension School<\/a> to offer online training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"Nebraska Dev Lab and Doane University (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/siliconprairienews.com\/2020\/09\/filling-the-gap-nebraska-dev-lab-provides-comprehensive-pipeline-program-to-meet-demand-for-tech-talent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nebraska Dev Lab and Doane University<\/a> have formed a bootcamp-university partnership. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/indiaeducationdiary.in\/simplilearn-and-caltech-ctme-launch-full-stack-web-development-post-graduate-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Simplilearn and Caltech CTME<\/a> have also partnered to offer online bootcamp programs. And the University of Oklahoma is preparing to offer <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/oklahoman.com\/article\/5680399\/changing-careers-ou-launches-cybersecurity-coding-bootcamps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">two bootcamps<\/a> in partnership with <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/schools\/fullstack-academy\/\">Fullstack Academy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In\nthe U.K., there have been a few similar partnerships. Le Wagon, an international bootcamp,\npartnered with Imperial\nCollege London to offer a data science\nprogram. And the University of Cambridge Institute\nof Continuing Education\n(ICE) has partnered\nwith Flatiron School to offer a 10-week online bootcamp\nfocused on data science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commenting on the Flatiron\npartnership, Dr. James Gazzard, the director of continuing education at ICE, said &#8220;our motivation is to ensure\nall adults can be active participants in the knowledge economy.&#8221; This shows that the university has realized the bootcamp model can help teach in-demand skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>University-bootcamp partnerships are becoming more common not just in the U.S. and Europe, but around the world. For example, Honoris United Universities has partnered with Le Wagon, an international bootcamp, to offer bootcamps across Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>University-bootcamp partnerships are in the early stages, and it is still too soon to comment on their success. On paper, however, both universities and bootcamps benefit. Whereas traditional degree programs usually last multiple years and are not for everybody, <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/ultimate-guide-university-coding-bootcamps\/\">university bootcamps<\/a> offer short-term, employment-focused training that caters to a new audience. Bootcamps, meanwhile, can reach a new audience under the brand name of a university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And of course, the very fact that so many universities of all different types are partnering with bootcamps\u2014especially universities that are new to bootcamp partnerships\u2014is a sign that the model is catching on. Trilogy is no longer the only game in town. We are now seeing an increasing number of partnerships between bootcamps and universities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-government-bootcamp-partnerships\">Government-Bootcamp Partnerships<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sacbee.com\/news\/politics-government\/capitol-alert\/article248664450.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">February 2021 report<\/a> in the Sacramento Bee spoke of a recent phenomenon that has taken off in the last year: government-bootcamp partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sacramento Bee report profiles the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greatersacramento.com\/tech-grads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Digital Upskill Sacramento program<\/a>. This program is a fund developed in partnership with the Greater Sacramento Economic Council, the Greater Sacramento Urban League, the City of Sacramento, and General Assembly. The goal of the fund was to pay for the education of 40 people who wanted to acquire new skills to advance their careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This\npartnership is only one of many investments Sacramento made in short-term job training programs.\nIn total, Sacramento County invested $10 million in upskilling. With<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>$800,000 of that money going to the Digital Upskill program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nrecent Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, part of the COVID-19 CARES Act, provides workforce\nboards and local governments with the capital they need to invest in training,\nwhile also making training programs more affordable for those looking\nto upskill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the local workforce boards and governments have only partnered with a small number of bootcamps, such partnerships have taken place all over the country. For instance, 30 graduates of the <a href=\"https:\/\/delawarebusinessnow.com\/2021\/01\/jpmorgan-chase-hires-30-grads-from-the-zip-code-wilmington-bootcamp\/?utm_source=coursereport&amp;utm_medium=blogpost\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Zip Code Wilmington program<\/a> were recently hired by JPMorgan Chase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tuition for these students was paid by the Delaware Rapid Workforce Training and Redeployment Initiative, a government-supported training program. Elsewhere, Wyncode partnered with <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/wyncode.co\/2020\/04\/16\/wyncode-and-careersource-south-florida-partner-in-new-scholarship-program.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CareerSource South Florida<\/a> to offer a grant to unemployed local residents who want to upskill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Federal aid made available through the CARES Act will have a notable impact on the bootcamp industry. As local workforce boards establish ties with bootcamps, they can learn the ins and outs of how bootcamps operate and how they support students. Such relationships could foster more collaboration in the future, such as state-funded programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The\ngrowth in the bootcamp industry\nin 2020 exceeded the expectations laid out in our last report. Since the start of\nthe pandemic, bootcamps have proven their ability to adapt to new circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nskill alignment between what bootcamps\nteach and what the labor market demands is clear. Bootcamps continue to\nfavor programs in software engineering and web development, where skills are constantly in demand. With that said, bootcamps are continuing to innovate by following market demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cybersecurity and technology sales programs are becoming more common. Such programs aim to prove that the bootcamp model of short-term\nintensive training can be applied\nto new careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Big companies like Microsoft and Apple are still hiring bootcamp students and graduates, at record rates. Our report finds that companies in many different industries and locations hire bootcamp graduates, which signals that bootcamp credentials are gaining wider acceptance. We expect bootcamps will face a lot of uncertainty in 2021, especially as some schools navigate how to offer in-person programs. Bootcamps have adapted well so far, but they will need to continue to do so to keep pace with a changing world and workforce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conflict of Interest Disclosure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Career Karma matches career switchers to bootcamps and job training\nprograms.
