The Software Guild<\/a>\u2019s founders came together with the mission to provide quality education to aspiring software developers. Software engineers with an average of over 10 years of experience each felt they could provide a much deeper and more successful educational experience than the one they saw in many different schools around them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This bootcamp provides verifiable and proven results with two key factors. First, you\u2019ll become a quality programmer through its strong training on industry-standard tools. Then, The Software Guild\u2019s career services add the special seasoning that makes the school\u2019s graduates into in-demand candidates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Software Guild\u2019s Success By The Numbers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Software Guild\u2019s track record speaks for itself, with 91 percent of graduates<\/a> from its Minneapolis campus employed full-time in their fields of choice within six months. And you don\u2019t have to take their word for it. The Software Guild is a founding member of the Council of Integrity in Results Reporting (CIRR)<\/a>, an independent organization that verifies coding bootcamp results through its own investigative process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graduates reported a median base salary of $60,000 to the CIRR as well. This substantial salary means you can expect to earn more than the median national salary<\/a> of $56,310. This boost to your earning potential will ease your financial situation, giving you more than just a career. You\u2019ll be able to stop focusing on your finances and enjoy a new and more fulfilling career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apprentices land jobs that let them use the tools they\u2019ve spent their time honing as well. Most graduates end up as software developers or associate consultants, but many also found jobs in application development or junior-level programming. Your role will differ across companies, but many of the biggest companies in the world come calling when they need new employees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Software Guild boasts an employer network of over 450 companies. These are companies large and small, including big names like UPS, Target, Nationwide, Valspar, and more. These organizations trust The Software Guild to produce quality Java<\/a> and .NET\/C#<\/a> programmers that can come in and contribute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But The Software Guild\u2019s graduates can rely on more than quality connections to find a job. The school offers quality career services that prepare apprentices for their job hunt. By the time apprentices finish their career services training, they\u2019ll be able to impress just about any recruiter they encounter. And after hearing this graduate\u2019s story, you\u2019ll see why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Apprentice\u2019s Tale<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Matt Gozel graduated from college in 2010, worked as an academic advisor for a few years, and then pivoted to a sales role at United Health Group for a couple of years. He\u2019d taken some Ruby courses<\/a> on his own, but after talking to some developer friends in his area, he decided to go a different direction. He always felt like coding would be a good direction for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt always felt like a field where I could be creative but still technical,\u201d Matt said. \u201cBecause I\u2019ve always wished I was more creative, I can\u2019t sing, I have no rhythm, I can\u2019t draw or paint or anything at all. I\u2019ve always had that artistic itch I\u2019ve wanted to scratch, but my brain is more analytical and technical. Coding seemed like a good fit for the best of both worlds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matt went from playing around with HTML and CSS back in the MySpace era to landing a job at a consulting company around six weeks after graduating. Even though he had no professional background in tech, Matt quickly found success after graduating from the self-paced digital coding badges program<\/a> at The Software Guild. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI did the .NET\/C# program there, and it took me about 10 months to complete,\u201d Matt said. \u201cI finished that in March, and by the end of April, I had multiple job offers for professional software developer roles, and I picked the one that I thought was the best fit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matt says that he couldn\u2019t have done it without the amazing help he received at The Software Guild, specifically from Kipp Graham, the program\u2019s Director of Career Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe had recurring weekly meetings which he scheduled so we could sit back and talk about where we were in the process,\u201d Matt said. \u201cHe wanted me to keep a detailed spreadsheet of where I had applied, and if I had heard back if I had a first interview, second interview, and things like that. I would share the spreadsheet with him every week to hold me accountable, to keep me on track with looking for jobs, and he was really great about sending my resume out to The Software Guild\u2019s contacts in the community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Career Help Tailored To Your Needs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Before Matt joined a consulting company where he now works on Dell\u2019s data pipeline team, he got some key help from Kipp on making himself into the most attractive candidate possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur first introduction when we talked on the phone, he\u2019d looked briefly at my resume and LinkedIn, and he gave me tips on how to improve those to make them more appealing to people who were hiring in tech,\u201d Matt said. \u201cHe told me how to set those up so that the keywords automatically get picked up by the algorithm that people use to screen applications. We went over tips for networking in our first meeting and big picture stuff about who I was, what I wanted to do, and where I wanted to go in coding.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kipp believes that The Software Guild\u2019s individualized career services plans are one of the things that set this educator apart from its competition. He helped Matt optimize his job searching materials to attract recruiters more easily, but the approach differs depending on the person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, the school recently had two apprentices in very different situations. One apprentice was a high school graduate who\u2019d worked in construction for around five years, and the other was a CEO of his own company who wanted to take a step back in his career. Both students had different needs and different goals, and Kipp and the career services team served them both with the same level of care and attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe amount of time we work together differs, as well as what we\u2019re working on,\u201d Kipp said. \u201cWhether we\u2019re focusing mainly on your resume and applications for the first guy, or maybe doing more networking and customized informational interviews are really going to differ based on [your situation]. So it\u2019s not just a one-process-fits-all type of environment here. We really work with the individual to figure out their goals and come up with a plan for how we can best help them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Software Guild\u2019s Hiring Partners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After Matt revised his job hunt materials, he landed the aforementioned job with one of The Software Guild\u2019s hiring partners. The Software Guild\u2019s network of over 450 hiring partners is the result of hard work from Kipp and his team in the career services department. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been with the company for a little less than six years now, and when I first started we were a little smaller, didn\u2019t have as many graduates bouncing around, so that was all me reaching out,\u201d Kipp said. \u201cBut now I would say it\u2019s about 50-50, companies coming to me and my team reaching out to companies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kipp said the team looks for two things when finding new hiring partners. Firstly, The Software Guild wants to ensure that the partners are looking to hire junior-level software developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of needs out there, but sometimes companies have the wrong idea about who they\u2019re looking to hire,\u201d Kipp said. \u201cLike, they want our students to go into help desk roles and things like that, or just roles that aren\u2019t really going to advance their career. So first, we want to make sure they\u2019ve got the right idea for what type of jobs our students will be doing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After both sides are clear on their needs, then the career services team makes sure that the employer will support the apprentice as they find their footing in the field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe stand by our program 100 percent, but they\u2019re still junior when they come out of the program,\u201d Kipp said. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be their first job as a software developer, and I don\u2019t care if you\u2019ve had an internship and a four-year degree and a master\u2019s degree, if it\u2019s your first job, you\u2019re going to need a bit of assistance. So we make sure they have some sort of mentorship program, or even if they have a buddy system they can go to. Something\u2019s in place where they\u2019re gonna help train that person up and help them understand their first role.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lifelong Support<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Even if students don\u2019t find a job as quickly as Matt, or if they\u2019re not satisfied with the job they do land, The Software Guild will stick with them for life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe will work with you until you get a job or you stop calling me,\u201d Kipp said. \u201cSo once a student graduates, we set up a meeting, at the bare minimum, every two weeks. Hopefully, it\u2019s a lot more than that, but as long as you\u2019re continuing to apply to jobs and put in the effort to look for work, we will be here to help you. Most of the time that\u2019s a matter of months, but if you happen to, let\u2019s say, graduate during a big pandemic, we will be here with you for the long haul until you reach the goals that you\u2019re looking for.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And according to Matt, who completed his apprenticeship while working a full-time job and raising two small children, The Software Guild more than delivers on its promise to help you reach your goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you want to go into tech, you\u2019re going to have to put in a lot of effort,\u201d Matt said. \u201dSometimes there are going to be frustrations and hard moments, but at the end of the day, it\u2019s worth it. It\u2019s going to lead to a really fulfilling career. And, as far as where you go after the Guild, the sky’s the limit. There are so many areas and different avenues you can go down, so it\u2019s absolutely worthwhile.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
