Amid dull job market, tech graduates enlist in boot camps to boost skills

As a slow job market and rapid changes in tech job profiles are forcing young graduates to upgrade themselves, the demand for “boot camps” — quick and extensive skilling programmes — has grown at a brisk rate, according to a report by The Economic Times (ET).

For many young graduates wanting to build skills in tech areas such as cybersecurity, generative AI, DevOps, data science, machine learning, cloud, coding, data science and full-stack, boot camps, a term borrowed from military terminology, have become essential to bolster their chances of getting employed.
