Other bootcamps didn't really relay to me that they would provide mentorship and help me find a job, or that they really cared about me, but Springboard did.

In the middle of a global pandemic, it was pretty scary to jump in and start trying to find a new job. So I liked the fact that Springboard had a job guarantee; there’s nothing to lose.

What really stood out to me about Springboard was the mentorship program and the fact that you could study at your own pace. I also loved the accountability that I would have from working with a career coach.
