Graduation Rate
Our graduation rate is a testament to our rigorous admissions process and customized program support for students.

Alexandra Dobkin
Alumna and Bloomberg software engineer
"I found the graduation rate to be unique, as other bootcamps kick out low performers. They end up looking more like a job placement agency, as opposed to being focused on investing in everyone’s learning."

Jessica Roth
Talent Acquisition, Salesforce IQ
"SalesforceIQ was blown away by the skills, attitude, and engagement of the engineers in the program. We have hired Hackbright engineers who have ramped quickly and have immediately been able to contribute to SalesforceIQ!"
