Boston, Massachusetts is one of the top US-based tech hubs in the country<\/a>, demonstrating a projected eight percent growth in tech jobs in the next five years. It\u2019s home to household tech companies, such as Amazon, IBM, Deloitte, and Wayfair, and to coding bootcamps dedicated to honing Boston\u2019s tech talents. One of these bootcamps is Launch Academy<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 2013, Launch Academy has served as the training ground for over a thousand students in the local Boston community. The bootcamp attributes its success to its 18-week program. The program delivers a well-tailored curriculum that gets updated every 90 days based on the in-demand skills required by hiring managers at companies seeking to bring entry-level engineers onto their teams.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The founders of the coding bootcamp are accessible to students from Day 1. During the application period, they ensure that each candidate\u2019s career goals and life situation align with Launch Academy\u2019s program structure. Applicants participate in multiple phases that test their readiness for a career in software engineering and compatibility with the coding bootcamp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once training begins, students are expected to have the drive to be successful in tackling the rigorous program. But while learning is an essential first step into a tech career, guidance from the bootcamp does not stop when students graduate. Launch Academy helps its alumni evolve into their initial and future roles by providing them with lifetime access to their curriculum.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Launch Academy offers an immersive 18-week Full Stack Development program that comes with lifetime access to bootcamp\u2019s curriculum and career services. <\/p>\nApply to Launch Academy today.<\/a>\n<\/div>\n

How Launch Academy\u2019s Lifetime Access for Alumni Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Lifetime Access of Alumni to Launch Academy<\/a> is one of their value-added benefits for their students. Alex Schwartz, the Career Services Manager at Launch Academy, gave us a deeper insight into how they build a lifetime partnership with their graduates, thus, forming an active alumni network. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the onset of the program, Alex and his team get to know each Launch Academy applicant. They dig into the why’s, what’s, and how’s of each potential Launch Academy student. A three-week optional prep course called \u201cPreflight\u201d precedes the program, where students practice how to code and test their commitment. Those who complete the program receive a $1,000 scholarship as an incentive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main course kicks off with an eight-week pre-work phase, accessible virtually at a part-time schedule. Here, students familiarize themselves with how Launch Academy works. Students don\u2019t pay tuition until their second week, providing them with a week to re-evaluate if they are ready to go all-in with the program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every phase of the program is a chance for students to validate two things: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
