Lighthouse Labs runs immersive 12-week Web Development Bootcamps that train participants with little to no prior experience in industry-relevant full-stack web development. It operates a satellite campus in Calgary and graduated 30 students from its cohorts in 2018. The company reports more than 1,500 grads across the country and an average 93% employment rate of candidates walking into a new developer role within 120 days of graduation. With Opportunity Calgary Investment Fund (OCIF) support of up to $300,000 over three years, Lighthouse Labs plans to expand its Calgary programming to reach 150 graduates annually by 2021 and to work with local companies to meet coding talent needs. The article cites a forecast that by 2021 at least 300 software developers are expected to graduate with 270 finding placements in tech jobs or further post-secondary training within six months. Lighthouse Labs positions itself to help Calgarians pivot careers and supply junior web developers to support Calgary’s digital transformation.
