Why is Software Development a Great Career?

As you’ve probably noticed, software runs the world. From your mobile devices to your TV, from your car to your coffee machine, software is all around us. Behind all software is good, clean code. Over the past few years, the limits to what technology can do for us on an everyday basis has expanded, and with that has come a tremendous need for talented software developers to write the backbone of these technologies. This presents you with an incredible opportunity to take advantage of this huge demand.

This is where Tech Ladder Comes into Play.

We launched our nonprofit coding bootcamp knowing there is an increasing demand for skilled, hardworking software developers. We developed our curriculum with direct input from our corporate partners to ensure we train students in the very skills employers need in entry level developers. Our goal is to help put skilled students, like you, in those indispensable positions so you can start changing the world, one line of code at a time.
