Bootcamps

Looking to jumpstart your career in as little as 3 months?

CEI partners with organizations that offer accelerated training programs designed to successfully prepare people with little or no background in IT for entry-level jobs in cybersecurity, a highly in-demand and lucrative career path.

Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity is one of the fastest-growing industries in the world. With rising phishing attacks fueled by pandemic concerns and widespread remote work, the industry is set to grow even more rapidly. Idaho is becoming a breeding ground for tech startups, with a strong presence of government functions and research centers. Idaho’s cybersecurity cluster has the potential to progress from emergent to established. This cluster will thrive once the state is able to develop and maintain a steady pipeline of cybersecurity talent.

Cybint Bootcamp

The field has had 0% unemployment for nearly a decade, and forecasts 350% job growth through 2021. With plentiful opportunities and competitive compensation, an accelerated Cybersecurity Bootcamp is the best way to gain the necessary skills to fill these positions.

Two different accelerated training options.

Web Development

Most boot camps run a Full Stack Software Developer program, but we found that it can be beneficial to specialize in either Front End or Back End. Because of this, we offer two separate, full-length programs - one for each stack.

These bootcamps are 18-weeks each.
