Why most coding bootcamps fail their graduates
February 15, 2026·8 min·BlastOut Studio
Bootcamps love to advertise their curriculum. Ours is fine — React, Node, Postgres, the usual stack. The reason 92% of our students get placed isn't the topics, it's the structure.
We pair every student with a senior mentor for weekly 1:1s. We make them ship a real product to a real user. We extend placement support for 90 days past program end. None of that scales cheaply, which is why most programs don't do it.
If you're picking a training program — for yourself or your team — ask about the support structure, not the syllabus. The syllabus is on YouTube for free.
