Around the country, and even the world, the demand for people with software coding experience is building.
And the demand isn't just for the computer geniuses one hears so much about: Those men and women at Google or Apple who can think magical code and change the world with their ideas.
No. According to the job site Indeed.com, nine out of 10 open coding jobs are not even located in Silicon Valley.
The world needs worker bees who can understand code, translate it into useful formats or transform it.
Enter for-profit educational code schools whose mission is to create a junior coder who can get a full time, competitively paid job where they can flesh out their skills.
At Zip Code of Wilmington, Delaware, the school boasts that three months after graduation, 93 percent of students have found a coding job.
Most of the 91 coding schools in 71 U.S. cities can make similar boasts because their schools have a singular aim: In 12 weeks, teach precisely the coding skills called for in the workplace. Just because you can pony up the $13,000 or so, doesn't mean you get in. Zip Code has a 12 percent acceptance rate, according to the Wall Street Journal.
