One of the challenges that bootcamps face and have really taken head-on is building diverse classrooms. If you’ve looked at demographics research, you know that tech is woefully not diverse – and that means everything from a lack in racial to gender to cognitive diversity. But a lot of bootcamps are actually doing interesting things in this realm: around scholarships, community outreach, and partnerships with local government to get into untapped communities and train people with a lot of potential but very little access to tech. On today’s podcast, we’re going to explore how one bootcamp, Flatiron School, approaches diversity in their cohorts.
