The first cohort of soon-to-be coders have just completed their first month of a software development bootcamp.
Headforwards Digital Academy’s new programme is taking a cohort of 24 coders from zero coding knowledge to junior developer over the next 16 weeks.
Delivered in partnership with Code Institute, the high-performance Full Stack Software Development Skills Bootcamp is part of Headforwards Digital Academy which aims to help tackle the tech and digital skills challenge facing the market.
The academy will use the technology and digital expertise of the business to help individuals and businesses gain the skills to make the most of technology and build a great career.
Headforwards Digital Academy is part of Digital Futures, which has received £2 million from Cornwall Council through the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Good Growth Programme, which is funded by the Government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund and managed by the Council.
The Software Developer Bootcamp was over-subscribed, receiving 89 applications for only 24 part and fully funded places.
Director for the Digital Academy, Kelly Kingstone, said: “We saw an incredibly positive response to the Software Development Bootcamp and it’s great to see a diverse group of learners taking on the challenge.
“This programme is such a fantastic opportunity for anyone that’s looking to change career, get started on a career in tech or take their technical skills to the next level, and it really is exciting to see this cohort get on their way.”
Applications are now open for a second Software Development Bootcamp from the Headforwards Digital Academy, which will start in January.
