Fullstack Academy, a national tech education provider based in New York City, has launched four tech bootcamps with Utah State University (USU) to meet demand across the state for qualified industry professionals. The USU Tech Bootcamps will equip graduates with a portfolio of work, industry certifications and refined technical skills, Fullstack said.
Major corporations in Utah, such as Goldman Sachs, Adobe, Accenture, Intermountain Healthcare and Travelers, are actively seeking to employ more tech professionals, according to Burning Glass, an analytics software company. The state’s thriving job market also offers competitive salaries for tech positions. Burning Glass reports the starting salaries for data analytics, coding, cybersecurity and DevOps roles range from $58,400 to over $90,000.
“Tech jobs are expected to grow more in Utah than any other state this decade, so there is an incredible need for qualified tech professionals in the region,” said Jerrad Tausz, CEO of Fullstack Academy. “Launching these bootcamps with USU gives us the opportunity to provide those interested in a tech career an accelerated, flexible learning environment while helping to address the dire worker shortage.”
The four bootcamps include training in coding, development operations, cyber systems and data analytics.
