Five reasons to be optimistic about switching careers now and how attending a coding bootcamp can help, based on our latest placement report.
If you’re a woman looking to enter tech, you don’t want to miss #2!
Since 2020, ItsMyCode Academy has released our jobs placement report outlining ItsMyCodes student outcomes from our Web Development and UX UI Design courses. As a leader in technology education, we believe that transparency and accountability are key when it comes to publishing our student outcomes. Because of this, our report is independently verified by a third-party accounting firm, Miami’s Morrison, Brown, Argiz & Farra, LLC.
Each year, we learn something new about our graduates and the outcomes from our programs.
Here are our top five reasons to be optimistic about switching careers now and coding bootcamp job placements.
1. Half of Job Seeking ItsMyCoders got jobs within 2 months of graduating
49% of job seeking ItsMyCode graduates accepted employment within 2 months of their graduation. In total, 90% of our 2025 graduates have been hired at the time of this publication. We are particularly proud of 2025’s placement rate because students who graduated our Coding Bootcamp and UX/Ui Bootcamp.
2. We are on track to hit our goal of 50% female bootcamp enrollments
2025 was the fifth consecutive year of female enrollments increasing at ItsMyCode, now reaching 35% from 20% since 2020. We are particularly proud of this because while women make up 47% of the U.S. workforce they hold only 26% of the tech roles.
This milestone puts us on track to hit our goal of reaching 50% female students. We previously pledged $1.4 million in scholarships to help close this gap.
3. We almost doubled the number of veterans in our programs
This year marked the fifth consecutive year of more veterans in our programs, for a year over year increase of 7% to 16% total. We’re extremely proud of this increase because according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate for post-9/11 veterans exceeds that for the general population. Having veterans trained in the skills companies are looking for is extremely important, and veteran ItsMyCoders now work at companies like Microsoft and Amazon.
ItsMyCode is proud to be one of the few code & design schools in the country approved to accept the G.I. Bill® for program tuition. Our graduates that are veterans tend to be very successful in the tech industry, excelling in roles that are well suited to their training in companies like Microsoft and Amazon.

4. The percentage of ItsMyCode graduates who accepted a technical role after graduation is 85%
A technical role is defined as working as part of, or directly with, an engineering team and is the goal of most incoming ItsMyCode students. This means that 85% of ItsMyCode graduates are working in technical roles directly out of ItsMyCode! The most common technical role job titles are:
- Software Developer/Engineer
- Product Manager/Support
- UX/UI Designer
5. More than 1 in 4 graduates make over $80,000 in their first job out of ItsMyCode
28% of ItsMyCode graduates made $80,000 or more in the first role they accepted immediately after graduating! 8% of graduates made over $100,000. The average salary of ItsMyCode grads, not counting Knight Fellowship recipients, went up to $83,721, making this year our fifth straight year of an average salary increase for recent grads!
In response to our commitment to increasing diversity in tech, the report will outline the demographics of our students. We are also extremely proud of the diverse student body we have. Some highlights below:
39% of reporting students are Hispanic/Latino 15% of reporting students are black
Nationally, 17% of Americans are Hispanic/Latino and 13% black, so it’s positive that ItsMyCode’s student body is more diverse than the general population and that ItsMyCode is a pathway for underrepresented groups to gain access to high-paying and high-growth technology jobs. The lack of diversity is a well-known issue in the technology world.
