« back to classes page

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects employment for software developers (including QA analysts and testers) to grow 15%—much faster than average—with about 129,200 openings each year over the 2024–2034 decade. That demand reflects an ongoing investment in software across every sector—finance, healthcare, retail, and SaaS—and a premium on engineers who can build end-to-end systems and responsibly leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to move faster with higher quality.

The AI-Focused Software Engineering Boot Camp takes a holistic, hands-on approach to modern full-stack development and AI-assisted workflows. You will master JavaScript, React, Node.js/Express, Git/GitHub, testing, CI/CD, and Agile, while learning how to use tools like Copilot, ChatGPT, and Claude for prompting, debugging, test generation, and documentation.

This software engineer training program culminates with a final capstone featuring a deployed, portfolio-ready AI-powered application that demonstrates end-to-end delivery and practical AI integration. To further strengthen your job readiness, this Azure AI certification program also includes preparation for AI-901 (Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals) to demonstrate your foundational AI knowledge to employers.
