“We are the first ever faith-based software development and in-demand technology boot camp,” Collins said. “We focus on four of the most in-demand programming languages in the world: Java, .NET, JavaScript and Ruby.”
According to City Councilwoman Julie Winter, in 10 years, science and technology jobs will make up 70 percent of the California job market. Bethel hopes to equip Christian programmers to enter that industry.
