Largest Coalition of Coding Bootcamps to Publish Data on Job Outcomes - Sri Ravipati, Campus Technology

Fifteen coding bootcamps, or accelerated computer programming programs, have formed a new coalition and announced their commitment to publish student graduation and job placement data in a single, standardized framework. In a move to be fully transparent, the 17-member Council on Integrity in Results Reporting (CIRR) is also mandating truth in advertising disclosures on all outcomes data promoted in marketing and admissions materials. CIRR members will release graduation and job placement data on a semi-annual basis. The first round of results from 2016 will be published on March 29, in accordance with CIRR definitions, documentation and validation requirements. The reporting will be publically available on the individual members’ websites. https://campustechnology.com/articles/2017/03/02/largest-coalition-of-coding-bootcamps-to-publish-data-on-job-outcomes.aspx
