ERICA FREEDMAN, SWITCHUP

2018/11/13

When Veterans return home from service, it can prove difficult to jumpstart a career. SwitchUp did the research to bring our military members a comprehensive list of data science and coding bootcamps throughout the United States that either accept the GI Bill or provide discounts and scholarships for those who have served.

We have organized our list by region to make it easier to pick out the school that is right for you.

Show your appreciation by having conversations, donating to effective causes and sharing this article with Veterans to help them gain access to the opportunities they deserve!
