@albertoarenaza @reesesandcoke @themehakvohra @caffeinatedwes @jamesg_oca @ColinatRED @rubenharris @TaraLifBaum @cassidylev @LearningGyms @kunksed Yeah, I agree with there being a big opportunity with the "what now" after you graduate from a coding/mar/sales/etc bootcamp. Most co's are not overly adept at the continual upskill, which is why we startup @PropelUp (the bootcamp I co-founded uses our software too actually)

Transcend Newsletter XXI sliding into your inboxes this morning! This week we talk about the Placement Economy - what it is and what it means for the world of learning and work. transcend.substack.com/p/the-placemen…

Congrats to @elevenfifty on 2 @TechPointInd Mira nominations! Proud as a co-founder, hiring partner, and thankful they are a customer of @PropelUp techpoint.org/2020/02/2020-m…

Applications are now live for the 2020-2021 @MDLF_IN Fellows class! Being a Fellow has been one of the most mind-stretching experiences of my young career. If you want to make a difference in the State of Indiana, you should apply: bit.ly/2Sb4RRv

2. 59% of developers prioritize learning new technical skills at work in terms of professional development (vs promotion, soft skill, credentials) - Even though leaders are clamoring for increased soft skill obtainment, most developers just want to learn more technical skills

1. 72% of hiring managers who have hired bootcamp grads reported that these grads were equally or better equipped for the job. - Which I interpret as industry is coming around to the idea of if you can do the job, you should get the job.

Interesting analysis by @ossia of the @hackerrank 2020 Developer Skills Report. I think the two most interesting stats because of their implication are: (thread) freecodecamp.org/news/computer-…

Recruiting and retaining talent is job number one for engineering leaders, especially in today's job market. We share a few ways of implementing Continuous Learning to set yourself apart from the crowd:

@BlairMiloLP @purduemitch @EconomicClubIN happy belated birthday!

Top way to spend a birthday - being inspired by @purduemitch @EconomicClubIN, esp. when he described regional collaboration as a key talent solution! 🎂🎁 Biggest inspiration/challenge/call to action (aside from talent efforts): growing statewide mentality of excellence. 💯💯

The challenge today isn't that resources aren't available to learn whatever you need/want to learn. The challenge is there are so many that how do you decide what's relevant?

We are so excited to celebrate the opening of @elevenfifty brand new headquarters in downtown Indy. Special thanks to @IndyMayorJoe for coming out and joining us!
