We kicked off the month with a great April Fool’s Day joke from The Onion about Vice President Kamala Harris enrolling in a bootcamp with the hopes of getting an entry-level tech position. Joking aside, we saw more discussion around the merits of a coding bootcamp education over college, and if companies should fully drop the 4-year degree requirement from tech job postings. A new ISA lawsuit in California emerged and a recent survey by Arc.dev found that coding bootcamp grads earn 12% more than college grads! Plus, find out which 10 new bootcamps we added to the Course Report directory this month.
Summer is nearly here! Whether you’ve been thinking about making a career change or upskilling this summer, we’ve rounded up over 30 coding bootcamps with summer cohorts. Many of these bootcamps are accepting applications!

OUR FAVORITE PIECES ON THE BLOG
Jess loved speaking with Test Pro alum Guzal, a busy mom who made a career change into Manual QA and is now a QA Analyst at Meta! Guzal pointed out how the Manual QA career (which does not require any coding skills!) is great for moms because it requires the same skill set of going deep, being patient, and repeating!
Liz enjoyed interviewing Brandon, a recent grad from Merit America who pivoted from working gig jobs for Instacart and Doordash into a tech career as a Tech Support Associate at Infosys!
