New Coding Bootcamp will Start in September 2024 With TalentSprint as the Ed Tech Partner

June 13, 2024 - Carnegie Mellon University (CMU)’s world-leading School of Computer Science has launched the CMU TechBridge Coding Bootcamp to provide access to computer science education and career opportunities for high school (or equivalent) graduates. This program will extend the reach of CMU’s computer science education offerings beyond its traditional undergraduate and graduate programs. CMU has partnered with TalentSprint to implement the  program to help aspiring professionals build the skills required for launching and advancing careers in tech.

There are over 377,000 job openings for software and tech roles annually, and these careers attract premium salaries, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Further, the tech industry is moving toward skill-based hiring in addition to hiring traditional computer science degree holders. 

This coding bootcamp will empower participants with industry-relevant skills for entry-level tech jobs without requiring a traditional computer science degree, removing the barriers for those who might not have had the time or resources. The program covers introductory computer science concepts with emphasis on problem solving. Participants will learn to write code, build front-end and deploy using tools which are currently used in the industry. 

This full-time, hands-on learning program will be delivered over four months. A hybrid program, CMU TechBridge Coding Bootcamp will include online classes led by instructors and mentors and two optional visits to CMU’s Pittsburgh campus. The program will be delivered by faculty of CMU’s School of Computer Science and TalentSprint and industry practitioners. Upon successful completion, participants will receive  a certificate from CMU’s School of Computer Science.

Ram Konduru, Director of Executive & Professional Education at Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science, explained the program’s rationale by saying, “CMU is dedicated to making a meaningful impact on society by extending its expertise to those who need it most. CMU TechBridge is tailored to meet the increasing demand for high-trust, high-impact coding bootcamps for entry-level tech professionals. We are partnering with TalentSprint, a leading ed tech firm to offer this program which will impart skills necessary for participants to secure and succeed in tech jobs.”

Santanu Paul, Co-Founder and CEO of TalentSprint, emphasizes, “We are delighted to partner with Carnegie Mellon's School of Computer Science, a global leader in computer science education, to launch this coding bootcamp. This program will build on the success of TalentSprint's coding bootcamps around the world. For participants, it will open the doors to highly differentiated skills and premium careers in tech. For employers, it will provide access to a larger pool of software developer talent trained by CMU faculty."
