Included With Every Bootcamp:
Technical Professional Development
We believe just as deeply in the soft skills that are necessary to be effective with technology. We appreciate as people grow specialized in tech they learn so many things but at the core - the soft skills are the same, and actually include more over time. We implement professional development around the technical skills.
Our approach is simple - we mix hard skills with the appropriate soft skills.
Guided Experience and Mentorship
We know how challenging it can be to try to teach yourself into a new career. However, ThinkData's bootcamp might just be what you are looking for to get there. This is a guided experience. This means not only do we train in live sessions, we also guide you through the whole process through an app developed by ThinkData's Development team. We also have data mentors who are with you all along the journey.
Assessment and Certification of Skills & Comptency
Throughout your bootcamp you will be assessed on your skills. This prepares you to prove competency. We have two ways of proving competency: through our individualized assessments and through successful certification. You will have plenty to talk about when you have the skills and industry recognized credentials.
Everything is mapped to skills and competency.
We match our apprentices with their sponsors based on data that matches based on the competencies required of the role. We all three, ThinkDataSol, the learner, and the sponsor company work together to create a sustainable apprenticeship model for entry level professionals at your organization.
