Get exclusive access to the best tech talent

Springboard takes great pride in the caliber and skills of our graduates. To ensure that students are adequately prepared for the rigor of our curriculum, we have a comprehensive application process that assesses their technical and communication skills. Springboard students complete a take-home skills assessments and engage with our Admissions team for an additional screen that evaluates their communication and motivation.

This process helps us ensure that all admitted students have the aptitude, background knowledge, and motivation to succeed in our bootcamp programs.

All Springboard students who are eligible for the Job Guarantee have completed secondary education and hold at least a Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university. 50% of our students select us instead of pursuing a graduate degree.

Springboard provides rigorous 500+ hour programs in Data Science, UX Design, and Software Engineering. The programs typically take students between six to nine months to complete. We enable students to go at their own pace as most of our students work part-time or full-time jobs outside the program.

Springboard students work with 3 individuals throughout the course: 

• Industry Mentor - every Springboard student is matched with a top professional that works with them 1:1 on a weekly basis to assess progress, facilitate introductions in the industry, and provide them with valuable context on how the material they’re learning applies in industry.

• Fun fact: We screen 12 mentors for every 1 that we hire, so it’s a competitive pool of top talent. We have more Data Science and UX Design talent in our mentor pool than any faculty at any university around the world.

• Career Coach - every student works with a Career Coach to learn how to best tell their story when applying for jobs. Career Coaches help them improve their interviewing skills and application materials. 

• Student Advisor - students get support from Student Advisers who help them plan out the course work and ensure they’re meeting their coursework goals.

The majority of our coursework is project-based, enabling students to demonstrate their mastery of subjects in their portfolio. Each course is completed with a Capstone Project that showcases their skills in a real-world application.

Our curriculum, alongside the mentorship students get, ensures that our graduates are ready to hit the ground running when they join your company. 75% of our students who make a career transition from our program get employed while they’re in the program - so we’re confident that we’re only teaching what you’re looking for.

Springboard students are distributed across the world, but the majority reside in the United States. The greatest number of students reside in (or are willing to relocate to) the 22 major cities in the country.

After you submit a request with what you’re looking for, someone from our team will reach out to you. We’ll learn more about your business and hiring needs, and then send you the profiles of students we think best match that. Interview them as you normally would and let us know what you think!
