Melbourne’s tech labour market is growing more competitive, and employers are hungry for job-ready talent. In the next five years, Australia is expected to need over 200,000 more technology workers, with Melbourne boasting the most competitive salary increases in Australia’s IT sector.

Geared toward both adult learners and working professionals, the Monash University Coding Boot Camp will teach the front-end and back-end coding skills in-demand by Melbourne’s growing number of tech employers.

The 24-week, part-time program is the first of its kind in Australia, and will be launched in partnership with leading global workforce accelerator Trilogy Education.

The program’s curriculum covers the basics of coding, algorithms and data structure plus intensive training in JavaScript, Node.js, HTML, CSS, jQuery, Java and more. No previous training or experience is required, but applicants should have an understanding of coding basics.

Beginning on 14 May at the Monash Caulfield Campus, students will attend two three-hour evening classes during the week, and a four-hour class on Saturdays. Graduates receive a Certificate in Full-Stack Web Development from Monash University.

In addition to classroom instruction, students will spend at least 20 hours a week on outside projects, homework, and experiential learning activities. They will also build a professional project portfolio to showcase their abilities, and receive a range of career-planning services, portfolio reviews, recruiting assistance and extensive staff support.

Enrolment is now open at bootcamps.monash.edu. You can apply online or by calling 8376 1404.
