What is Career Assistance at Grand Circus?
Grand Circus offers Career Services to bootcamp students who are eager and ready to earn a new career in tech. During the bootcamp, students will be expected to attend soft skills sessions, career 1-1’s and company info sessions among other activities. Below is a list that outlines what we expect students/alumni to complete during and after bootcamp in order to receive career services.
After graduation, alumni continue to have access to career services, if they choose. Alumni who are in compliance with Career Services requirements can continue to contact the career services team for advice on phone and in-person interviews, applications and contract/salary negotiations, among other topics. The Grand Circus career services team also holds after-bootcamp alumni 1:1 support in an effort to continue to provide advice and resources to graduates in need.
