Coding Dojo, a leading technology education company, today announces the launch of the Product Management Part-Time, an eight-week bootcamp focusing on core industry concepts, models, and frameworks to develop students’ product sense and intuition. Throughout the course, students will create a portfolio of assets for future job applications, as well as engage in practice interviews and networking sessions with the end goal of being job ready as soon as they graduate.

This launch comes during a time of tremendous growth for the industry. According to a recent report by Project Management Insider, job openings for Project Managers grew by 32% from August 2017 to June 2019 – nearly five times more than the 6.6% growth of overall jobs in the U.S. during the same time period.
The program was developed by Dev Bala, a distinguished Product Management professional with more than 20 years of industry experience at companies like Microsoft, Google, and Facebook.
“Product Management is one of the most lucrative professions at any tech company and has an outsized impact on companies’ growth strategies,” said Bala. “The mixture of coursework, practical application, and group projects will help students master the fundamentals of Project Management so they can pursue new career paths within the industry.”

This program is the fifth new educational offering launched by Coding Dojo in 2020 as a rapid response to the increased demand for career readiness training. Other new programs include Online Part-Time Flex, Online Self-Paced, Part-Time Data Science Online, and the entrepreneurial-focused Coding & Innovation Bootcamp.
