Technical bootcamps provide critical training in data science and specific technologies in a reasonably short amount of time. They can be a great way to launch a career in tech as they can help provide you with the specific skills and understanding of the industry you are interested in. People use technical bootcamps for different reasons - some to begin a career and others to gain the skills to shift their career. Technical bootcamps tend to be shorter than most baccalaureate programs and less expensive (sometimes even free!) while allowing students to learn a new skill set from industry professionals.  

What are some benefits of technical bootcamps?

1. Time - Technical bootcamps focus on the skills necessary to specific jobs in a short, intensive period of time. They give you the skills to immediately transition into a job.

2. Focus - Students are being trained directly in the field of their choice, for the job of their choice. They earn training on how to achieve their immediate goals, often through project-based learning that can also serve as a portfolio during their job search. 

3. Support - Technical boot camps can create an opportunity to be trained by people who are familiar with the industry and who can help to facilitate a smooth transition into the career of your choice.

4. Careers in the Trades - A large number of technical schools come with financial support or programs where you don’t pay until you find a job that can support your transition. They can also include guarantee programs where they support students’ transition into their careers.
