Empowering Your Transition to Tech
Code Platoon is dedicated to helping Active Duty Servicemembers transition seamlessly into the tech industry. As the only Coding Bootcamp exclusively for Veterans, Servicemembers, and military spouses, we equip participants in the DoD SkillBridge program with in-demand software engineering skills and dedicated military-to-tech career transition resources.
SkillBridge at Code Platoon goes beyond just learning to code. As a student, you’ll also benefit from mentorship from industry leaders and personalized career coaching for your software engineering journey.
SkillBridge Overview
The DoD SkillBridge program is an opportunity for Servicemembers to gain valuable civilian work experience through workforce training or apprenticeships during their last 180 days of service — all while receiving their full military pay and allowances.
Code Platoon’s Full-stack Software Engineering: Immersive Coding Bootcamp is an approved SkillBridge training provider.
SkillBridge is not a funding mechanism. Students attending Code Platoon as part of SkillBridge utilize VA education benefits or may apply for scholarships.
