Current Wyncode Students Helped Make PitchDay A Smashing Success

Wyncode’s fourth cohort was made up of 19 hand picked students that spent nine weeks in a full-time immersive bootcamp environment. The students’ passionate effort culminated in Pitch Day, where they presented their full stack applications which they created in the final two weeks at Wyncode. The students learning of coding skills was complemented by a strong focus on business acumen, including communication and presentation skills as well as an understanding of lean startup and agile methodologies.

Wyncode Students Getting Job Offers Before Graduation

Even before the students’ official graduation at Pitch Day IV, 33% of the Wyncoders had already received job offers, a new milestone for Wyncode, which has a 92% placement rate amongst its graduates.
