Students in every cohort enter the job market with the most up-to-date skills, honed by hands-on project work.
Establish foundational programming skills with Java. You'll develop an application that models real-world problems by the end of this module.
You'll write conditional code that can help make decisions, use collections to organize data sets, and leverage object-oriented programming principles for code modularity.
Learn about back-end development by connecting your programs with other applications to save and retrieve data. Learn to develop applications that use SQL to communicate with databases to store data.
Then learn how to work with and build APIs to distribute your data to other applications.
Learn how to build web applications with complex layouts using HTML and CSS. Then you'll see how JavaScript enables your applications to create dynamic, interactive experiences for your users through a web browser.
Learn about agile methodologies and experience collaborating on a team to build a full-stack application that uses the lessons learned throughout the curriculum.
With Tech Elevator and The AutoZone Tech Program, you don’t go it alone. Our team members from instructors to coaches to subject matter experts are here to help you succeed.
All your instructors are software development experts with deep industry experience. They personally monitor student progress and follow up proactively, including for one-on-one tutoring.
You’ll receive daily support and one-on-one guidance from this recent Tech Elevator graduate, someone who's completed our program, knows what it's like to be in your shoes and can help you move forward.
Throughout the bootcamp, we’ll work together preparing you for your career transformation – we’ll help get you familiar with the career path you are about to embark on - with panels discussion and presentations from leaders in talent and tech and sessions designed to support your professional transformation.
Your coding questions answered.
No, since the program is full-time, you will need to step away from your current role to focus on becoming a Software Developer for AutoZone.
The coding bootcamp (Java) requires 0 prior coding experience! We do, however, select candidates based on problem-solving ability using our Aptitude Test. Related to equipment, Tech Elevator will provide a laptop for you to use throughout the bootcamp.
This program is available for AutoZoners in Atlanta, Austin, Dallas and Memphis markets. Employees at the Terrell and Lexington distribution centers are also eligible to apply. Instruction will be given virtually, however, AutoZoners will learn alongside their peers at their nearest regional office location.
There will be an in-person portion in Memphis during the final week of the bootcamp (week 14)—during which students will present their Capstone Presentations and attend an in-person graduation ceremony.
Upon graduation, you will become a member of AutoZone’s IT team—either as a Software Developer, Analyst, etc.
