DVLPR: January 2023 - Granite City Event Center, Folsom, CA. We're excited to start a coding Bootcamp, which will help support growing demand for software engineers in our region. We are partnering with a local creative dev agency, FYC, and their new program DVLPR. They will provide a holistic curriculum including core fundamentals in software development and practical hands-on training. Students will "ship software" and those projects are the metric to measure student performance. Students who complete the program will receive a certification from GCEF that can be used in applying for jobs. Our network of organizations affiliated with GCEF will have priority interview access to certified software engineers.
