BridgeLabz Launches a 30-day online coding boot camp amid Covid-19 lockdown

An online boot camp on emerging technologies is being held from 1 to 30 April 2020; aims to equip 5000+ engineers pan-India with industry-oriented skill sets

Mumbai, April 23rd, 2020: BridgeLabz Solutions LLP, one of India’s largest IP-driven incubation labs aimed at nurturing engineering talent and ideas in the emerging technology space, has launched “CodinClub” a 30-day online coding boot camp for engineers pan-India  April 30, 2020. The decision comes in the view of the nationwide lockdown due to the outbreak of coronavirus.

The boot camp is aimed at bridging the existing skill-gap amongst fresh engineering talent by equipping them with industry-relevant coding skills and from the comfort of their homes. BridgeLabz has created the boot camp to help bring learners to a basic coding proficiency level in the current situation from the comfort of their homes.  Currently Bridgelabz is charging a very nominal fee from the students to ensure it can support the large number of students signing up with help from from external faculty who are also Bridgelabz Alumni. BridgeLabz continues to gain only from the hiring companies that too only if the talent gets a job. This is in keeping with its basic philosophy of being outcome oriented for the talent.

The company has been holding a series of coding boot camps over the last year in different locations, starting with 200+ sign-ups for the first month and reaching 1000+ till March this year. This time, due to the virtual nature of the boot camp, the company is expected to cater to 5000+ students in the next three months, with over 500 sign-ups in April alone.  Due to the current scenario, students are more focussed to learn skills that will secure them a job in the future. This has played an instrumental role in driving more students to register for online boot camp.

In the last year FY19-20 ending on march , BridgeLabz has successfully groomed and placed over 1000 engineers across India through its Fellowship Program. It provides talent with extensive experiential learning of industry-relevant coding skills with projects and guidance from expert mentors. Its partner network comprises over 250+ of the country’s leading companies, including Yatra, Urban Ladder, Fullerton, Capgemini, ThoughtWorks and BookMyShow, where tailor-made talent is placed upon successful completion of the course. The boot camps organised by the company serve as an extension of its efforts towards upskilling India’s engineering talent pool and making them industry-ready.
