Additionally, 14 startups have hired bootcamp graduates, demonstrating the high value and relevance of the skills and knowledge imparted by the program.
"After being laid off in the sales world, the Awesome Inc Bootcamp was the perfect next step for me. I learned new skills in an ever-expanding tech world that challenge me every day in ways my prior career never could. I found an AWESOME community in the process, and I am able to support my family better than I was ever able to before," said Andrew Mills, a recent graduate of the program.
These accomplishments highlight the Awesome Inc U Bootcamp’s unwavering commitment to advancing the tech industry and workforce development. As the program continues to grow, it remains dedicated to achieving new milestones and further contributing to the tech ecosystem.
