Organizations, regardless of their size, cannot function without IT enabling/driving every activity, from traditional back-office systems to strategic services that interact with customers and external partners. Accordingly, our global IT trends research demonstrates that there is strong demand for IT professionals (available from service providers and commercial organizations) prepared to engage in developing new services, troubleshooting problems, performing maintenance & help desk support, and keeping systems running efficiently & effectively. IT has quickly become a top priority for businesses across every industry. So much so that IT roles are no longer just the purview of the IT department. Every business unit has a stake in the IT services, apps, networks, hardware, and software needed to meet business goals and objectives, and many of them are hiring their own technologists.
The war for talent has moved beyond the technology industry, with other verticals vying for talented IT workers who have the skills to enable digital transformation, process improvement, change management, and the development of apps and services. As the demand for tech talent grows in industries beyond tech, salaries are on the rise in fields such as consulting, finance, hospitality, and more. This dynamic environment is driving three very different technical career opportunities, addressed on the previous page.

GIIMs Workforce Development Bootcamp
Coding bootcamps were born out of necessity. Modeled after trade schools, bootcamps provide the tech industry with a pipeline of ambitious graduates armed with job-ready skills.

Tech bootcamps are high-impact education courses that teach students practical, job-ready tech skills in a short amount of time. Bootcamps may also offer mentorship opportunities, personalized feedback and the ability for students to expand their professional network.
Most bootcamps offer fast-paced, immersive learning environments, usually taking a matter of months to complete. Coding bootcamps emphasize a practical teaching method that quickly progresses from foundational knowledge to the creative application of problem-solving skills. They have proven to be very effective,
In addition to teaching technical skills, bootcamps offer career preparation services to help students land jobs after graduation. Many provide career coaches and maintain official hiring partnerships.
Practical Learning
Bootcamps trim the fat when it comes to course requirements. If you want to learn about coding, then that’s what you will study—no electives or general education courses required. Albeit it is usually geared for a specific job/placement opportunity.
Bootcamp classes are hyper-focused on teaching career-ready skills; class projects may require students to build a website from scratch or write code to operate a financial software program for a small business.
Flexibility
GIIM works with its affiliates in designing the content, schedule, and structure needed to succeed.
Career Preparation

Shorter Than a Degree
Bachelor’s degrees usually take four years of full-time study to complete. By comparison, the average length of a coding bootcamp is about 20 weeks.
Intensive Commitment
A bootcamp’s rigorous schedule is not for the faint of heart, often taking up at least 40 hours per week for a full-time, intensive program. A part-time program may require as few as five to 25 hours per week. Expect to spend most of these hours attending class meetings; completing individual assignments and group work often takes place outside of scheduled class time.
