Another CIRR school pauses enrollment due to the market. Bootcamps have to face reality or they will not survive 2024. If you are looking at bootcamp that doesn't warn you about the market for bootcamp grads, run for the hills!

I recently graduated a boot camp and I had a job before I was done with the boot camp

That's great and you are both lucky and probably have the other skills and situation that are more correlated with getting a job. The Launch Academy argument is that in this market No bootcamp can guarantee or consistently get people jobs, so they think it's not responsible to admit people and take their money. that doesn't mean that no one will get jobs. In fact in some places anecdotally, it's a couple of people but it can be as high as 30 to 50% of the cohort right now. But that's really important to understand what kinds of jobs and how. in the past there was a little bit more consistency and common practices. Right now it's kind of a free-for-all with people getting all kinds of jobs all over the market and at all kinds of companies. The most ambitious people are going to find a way through to a job, but there isn't a consistent and reproducible method that a bootcamp can teach right now to do that. That means on an individual basis you might get a job. but based on Launch Academy's argument, it would be equally deceiving to take your one outcome and present it as if everyone doing the same boot camp would have the same outcome (not that you said that, but explaining Launch Academy's position by analogy).
