Understanding the Need for Upgraded Bootcamp Courses

In recent years, the rate of technological advancement in the IT space has been nothing short of extraordinary. From artificial intelligence to machine learning to cloud computing and cybersecurity, the digital landscape continues to expand at a breakneck pace. Recent tech layoffs at blue-chip organizations have done little to slow overall hiring in an industry with a steep growth curve.

But as technology advances, so does the demand on the IT workforce expected to accommodate it.

When the rate of IT change happens faster than a workforce can accommodate that change, digital skills gaps surface. Traditional job roles are reshaped and new positions emerge to meet new demands. However, the supply of contributors with cutting-edge skills often falls short of demand. This further widens the distance between available talent and the current job boom in the tech industry.

Staying up-to-date on your IT skills does more than keep your abilities fresh; it can also help position you as a valuable commodity amid an IT skills gap. Ongoing education and training opportunities, like the IT bootcamp programs offered by QuickStart, make you even more valuable to employers hiring from limited pools of in-demand talent.

We upgraded our bootcamp programs in direct response to both industry demands and learner preferences. We’ve updated each program to include new skills and meet new requirements for entry-level cybersecurity, cloud, software, and data positions. QuickStart also listened to student and educator reviews, integrating their feedback in ways that make our training methodologies even more accessible.

In a world where technological disruption is quickly becoming the norm, ongoing education is no longer a luxury for IT professionals. It’s a requirement, one that helps promote both individual career advancement and resilience when the industry inevitably changes.
