Recent closures signal changes in the tech training market

January 30, 2025
By: Casey Nemecek

Artificial intelligence, market saturation, and shifting demands from both employers and students are driving changes in coding bootcamps and other programs in the tech training sector, according to a recent Inside Higher Education story. These factors have contributed to several closures in the past year:

  • 2U’s bootcamp division (December 2024)
  • Codeup (December 2024)
  • Momentum Learning Triangle coding bootcamp (August 2024)
  • Rithm School (stopped accepting new applications in July 2024)
  • Launch Academy (paused its code school in May 2024)
  • Women who Code (April 2024)
  • Epicodus (early 2024)
  • Kenzie Academy, run by Southern New Hampshire University (2023)

Other providers have recently adapted their business models. Codesmith has moved to remote-based programming as of February 2024, while General Assembly, one of the largest bootcamps, introduced part-time options in March 2024. After downsizing in 2023, Ada Developers Academy reopened with a new focus on AI in fall 2024. 2U plans to offer shorter-term microcredentials in place of its bootcamp programming.
