@albertoarenaza @reesesandcoke @themehakvohra @caffeinatedwes @jamesg_oca @ColinatRED @rubenharris @TaraLifBaum @cassidylev @LearningGyms @kunksed Yeah, I agree with there being a big opportunity with the "what now" after you graduate from a coding/mar/sales/etc bootcamp. Most co's are not overly adept at the continual upskill, which is why we startup @PropelUp (the bootcamp I co-founded uses our software too actually)

Congrats to @elevenfifty on 2 @TechPointInd Mira nominations! Proud as a co-founder, hiring partner, and thankful they are a customer of @PropelUp https://t.co/icCbGHtJAc

1. 72% of hiring managers who have hired bootcamp grads reported that these grads were equally or better equipped for the job.

- Which I interpret as industry is coming around to the idea of if you can do the job, you should get the job.

Recruiting and retaining talent is job number one for engineering leaders, especially in today's job market.

@BlairMiloLP @purduemitch @EconomicClubIN happy belated birthday!

The challenge today isn't that resources aren't available to learn whatever you need/want to learn. The challenge is there are so many that how do you decide what's relevant?

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

If you’re resolving to stay relevant in the workplace this year, you might consider getting a new credential. @laurenweberWSJ reports. #WSJWhatsNow https://t.co/FXFI5hGHzQ
