Program Details

Thanks to new technologies such as cryptocurrency and blockchain languages like Ethereum and Solidity, the finance industry is undergoing many changes as financial services firms, insurance agencies, and investment banks shift their focus to digital services. Because of this, companies are no longer looking for employees only experienced in finance. Instead, they’re hiring people who know how to use statistical programming and machine learning techniques to organize and analyze data, as well as individuals who can support their financial privacy and security efforts.

Whether you are looking to elevate your current career in financial services or get in on the ground floor, this boot camp will provide you with the hard skills, soft skills, and career support needed to hit the ground running in this burgeoning field.

Part-Time Flexibility: This boot camp was designed for working professionals who are seeking to advance their current careers or change paths.

Throughout the interactive sessions, students will work together with peers on projects to apply the financial theory, tools, and technologies covered in the boot camp.

Classes will simulate a professional environment, enabling students to work independently and in teams while gaining hands-on practice using their newly-acquired skills. Through a dynamic classroom environment, challenging portfolio projects, and homework reviews from instructors and teaching assistants, students will gain valuable insight into a “day in the life” of a fintech professional.

Career Services: To ensure that students are positioned to be employer competitive upon graduation, the career services team has conducted conversations with hundreds of hiring managers to find out what employers look for from candidates. Together, you’ll brush up on the tricks and techniques that will give you a competitive edge, perfect your portfolio, build a professional blog to display projects, and prepare for a successful job interview.

Why FinTech?

I chose to attend this program to further my education and help advance in my career. It has done just that and more. I was on the job market well before I completed this course, with little to no success. As soon as I updated my career profiles with my new skills, I started receiving hits. I’m happy to report that in less than a month I was able to find the perfect job. I was offered a position with the first company I interviewed with. This would not have been possible without this boot camp. Thank you!
