Top Programs of 2018
Coding bootcamps, veteran transition programs, and safety and health training among the most sought-after for the year
Earlier this year, Georgia Tech unveiled its roadmap for the future of higher education. The report presented a bold vision of the university of tomorrow that commits to lifetime education. In 2018, more than 26,000 non-traditional learners were enrolled in our professional development programs to pursue new skills, build expertise, and explore new topics.
For the second year in a row, our Georgia Tech Coding Boot Camp was one of the most sought-after professional education opportunities. Full-stack web development continues to grow in popularity and the bootcamp lends itself to scalable, skills-based training in an in-demand field.
Courses and certificates in the safety and health portfolio were also in high demand. Our Workplace Trends in the Safety and Health Industry report showed that safety training was one of the top skills in this sector and likely one you'll see again next year.
If you're looking to boost your credentials in the New Year, why not devote some time to professional education? Here's a roundup of courses and certificates our learners loved most this year.
