How would you grade coding bootcamps?

 

In our How I Got Here series,Melvin Cedano, a software dev with no college education and no coding experience despite tech savvy, found a full-time job a year after graduating a coding bootcamp. The main advice he’d give to those trying to break into tech is to research a bootcamp, while paying attention to graduation rates and how many are receiving quality jobs in tech. He used the Council on Integrity in Results Reporting to figure out the quality of the bootcamps in his area.
 
Based off of graduation rates and how many graduates were hired for quality jobs in tech, how would you grade individual coding/tech bootcamps in Baltimore? 
 
And don't forget to pop over to our AMA on allyship this Friday.
