Part-Time Flexibility: This boot camp was designed for working professionals who are seeking to advance their current careers or change paths. Classes are designed to fit within busy schedules, giving students with full-time jobs and other commitments flexibility while providing opportunities for face-to-face interaction with instructors and peers.
​

The program’s interactive classes give students the opportunity to explore topics with instructors, teaching assistants, and a group of like-minded peers both during classes as well as through a robust, supportive student community on Slack.
​
Portfolio Development: This program is designed not only to cover fintech concepts and theory – it puts students to work. This bootcamp has project-based assignments to simulate real-world business scenarios, allowing students to learn how to develop their own financial machine learning modules and Ethereum blockchains. These projects give students the opportunity to build a portfolio so they are ready to impress potential employers with their newly-sharpened skills after graduation.
​
Career Services: Students have the support of a dedicated career services team that will help prepare you to be “employer competitive” through a series of career readiness milestones throughout the boot camp. You will receive individualized feedback on your resume and portfolio, undergo mock interviews, get guidance throughout the job search process, and have 1:1 meetings to strategize about your next steps after graduation.
Why FinTech?
Financial institutions are increasingly becoming technology institutions, and as the global digital economy continues to grow, so does the need for individuals with fintech expertise.

In order to keep up with​ this digital transformation and keep their teams competitive in this changing landscape, professionals must merge finance principles with data technology skills.
Fintech offers many fast-changing, fulfilling, and lucrative career options. In fact, the market value of the fintech industry is set to surpass $305 billion by 2025, creating millions of jobs that pay an average of $81,590 (Source: Business Insider).

JOB PLACEMENT IS NOT GUARANTEED
I chose to attend the program to help myself go down a different career path. I wanted something that would allow flexibility, the possibility of remote work, and a sustainable way to support myself. It’s been 3 months since graduation, and I have landed a remote position with a company that is willing to invest in my learning, and work with me to build my skills and knowledge. I couldn’t be happier with where this path is leading me! I feel smart, secure in my future, and excited to be a part of the tech community so I can show others that it is possible at a later age.

In this boot camp I received the most support I have ever experienced. My instructors, TAs, and career coaches were relentless in their efforts to help me and my classmates excel. The week before graduation, I interviewed for a fintech position and a month later, I was able to lock down an amazing job in a great location where my skills, ideas, and opinions are valued and truly matter.
