Fullstack Academy, a national tech education provider, announced it will bring its data analytics bootcamp program to the West Coast through a collaboration with Oregon State University (OSU). Launching in winter 2022, the bootcamps will train professionals of any tech skill level in just 26 weeks for jobs in the rapidly growing data analytics sector, where skilled talent is in high demand.
Offered through the OSU Portland Center, the bootcamp will help fill the more than 1,536 available data analytics positions across the state, according to LinkedIn. The program will also enable Oregon to keep pace with an expected surge in demand, as analytics software company Burning Glass reports a projected 21.5% national growth rate over the next decade.
