Bellarmine University is offering new virtual tech bootcampus that prepare learners
for careers in high-demand technology fields.
The program is designed for adult learners looking to upskill or reskill. Classes
meet once a week for a virtual 1.5-hour lecture, and continue with self-paced work
throughout the week. The programs include a dedicated career services team that offers
one-on-one mentoring, resume help, portfolio building and more. The programs are offered
through a collaboration with Promineo Tech, an education-as-a-service provider.
“These affordable and accessible programs provide opportunities that align with market-driven,
high-demand career fields," said Abigail Walsh, Director of Bellarmine's Center for
Community & Professional Education. "Our goal is to equip participants with tools
that will draw the attention of prospective employers and help them secure a job.”
Walsh noted that the bootcamps align with the university's new strategic vision, Bellarmine
Forward, designed to ensure that all students are career ready when completing their
studies.
“The rapid economic shift of recent years has created tremendous demand among those
who want to reskill,” said Nick Suwyn, founder of Promineo Tech. “These bootcamps
are a great opportunity to enhance workforce acceleration within Kentucky, specifically
in the increasingly in-demand field of technology. We’re excited to work with Bellarmine
University to accomplish this.”
The bootcamps offered include Front End Software Development (18 weeks), Back End
Development (18 weeks), Big Data Engineering (26 weeks) and Digital Marketing (16
weeks). The courses operate in a fully remote setting utilizing an online learning
management system and Zoom.
Upon successful completion of the program, students have the tools they need to apply
to entry level jobs within the field.
Enrollment is currently open for upcoming bootcamps, beginning later this month. Learn
