Why hire our grads.

Working with

In-Demand Technologies

Our curriculum is responsive to the needs of the local tech community. We train students in full stack development (with server-sides in C#/.NET, Python, Ruby, or Node.JS), front-end development with UX design, and data science.

Trained by Working Developers

Prior to teaching, our lead instructors were working software developers, digital product designers, or data scientists at local companies with 90+ years of experience combined. Meet the team.

Experienced in Real Team Projects

Our students learn by doing. Students receive a combination of individual and group assignments that iterate over their skills and knowledge gained throughout the course. Group work is completed in a Agile environment.

Motivated to Continue Learning

Our graduates are eager to learn and build on their fundamental knowledge. Many are hired to work in tech stacks that are different than the stack(s) they learned at NSS.

Improve the diversity of

your workforce.

We are committed to creating opportunities for underrepresented groups in tech. 37% of our graduates are from underrepresented groups in tech, including people of color, women, veterans, etc.

  • “Made our senior developers more valuable.”
    Jim Siegienski, CTO at Group 360, was a skeptic about the value of bootcamp graduates, but after hiring a few of our graduates, Jim is now a big advocate for NSS. He talks about lessons learned in using junior developers, how he onboards them and what expectations should be for productivity for them.
  • "Skills relevant to what we do each and every day."
    Daniel Green, Director of Product Analytics at VitalSource Technologies at Ingram Content Group, shares why he felt it made sense to interview NSS graduates for his team. Daniel offers some great insights into how junior developers help create a broader mix of skill sets and experiences on a development team that actually strengthens the team.
