CodeTrain

An online forum for coding bootcamp students to share learning resources and prospective employers to post their job listings and connect with students.

Description

A community of coding bootcamp students and employers looking to hire new developers. Bootcamper students can share learning resources with each other and apply to job posts. Company representatives can list their job opprtunities here and connect with bootcampers.

Motivation

There are many online resources to learn coding and find job listings, but none tailored specifically for coding bootcamp students and employers looking to hire them. With the rising popularity of coding bootcamps, we wanted to create a centralized space where bootcamp students can share learning resources that helped them learn. Employers looking to hire new software engineers will find a community of eager and motivated developers here as well.
