Opening doors to professional development for underrepresented communities helps to position your organization for the future.
A report from PwC revealed that 77% of employees are eager to learn new skills or completely retrain, but 39% worry their jobs will be obsolete within five years.
Prior to the pandemic, 52% of leaders said that enhancing the employee experience was a priority for their organization. Today, that percentage has drastically increased to 92% of leaders.
Only 23.1% of the tech industry is made up of individuals who identify as women and Black, LatinX and Native American tech professionals make up less than 5% of the workforce at major tech companies. Less than 10% of those surveyed by Dice identified as part of the LGBTQ+ community.

Identify Employees
Tech Elevator does the work to find the candidates in your company who are most likely to thrive in both our bootcamp and a future tech career. We screen for talented candidates who show interest and potential, conduct aptitude testing, and track results to identify selections for upskilling/reskilling.
Train Right
Expert trainers and ambitious learners are both crucial to a successful bootcamp program. BootcampOS offers resources for both trainers and learners to succeed. Learner resources for all types of hands-on and instructional learning, including web and video learning content, quizzes, exercises, tutorials, and automated performance feedback.
Visualize Outcomes
Focused on outcomes and improvement, BootCampOS is updated bi-weekly for effectiveness based on student and instructor performance and feedback.
People-based reporting: measurement by student or by trainer
Place-based reporting: measurement by location or by session
Our organization could use BootcampOS.
Phase 1: Student Tutoring and Support
The trainer gains familiarity with the course, gets to know common challenges, and understands student comprehension.
Phase 2: Shadowing and Observation
Trainers observe other trainers in action, understand lecturing techniques, time pacing, and classroom management.
Phase 3: Mock Teaching
The trainer tries their hand at teaching, practices presenting the curriculum, and receives coaching and feedback.
Phase 4: Observed Lecturing
Trainers lecture for a single module, and receive coaching and feedback from an experienced instructor.
Potential students often want to know more.
Our curriculum covers a introduction to programming in either Java or .NET, which leads into Relational Databases and Client Server Programming, followed by Web Application Devlopment. All the critical components to produce a code-ready full-stack software engineer. Our curriculum, based on volume of needs, can be customized for dedicated cohorts to highlight specific concepts as needed by your organization. Speak with a team member for an overview of our current curriculum offerings.
We offer part-time and full-time programs. Part-time programs last 30 weeks and full-time programs last 14 weeks.
We have found our approach to be effective at producing skilled software engineers who can address and manage the same level of work and skill as those with traditional computer science degrees.
There is limit on the number. Depending on which reskilling solution best suits your organization, you can reskill as few as one or two students and as many as 100+.
