Job Titles: Lists the most common roles obtained by graduates after completing the program.
Graduation Rates: The percentage of students completing the program on-time or within an extended timeframe, reflecting program support and structure.
Job Placement Rates: The proportion of graduates employed within set timeframes (e.g. 180, or 360 days), categorized by in-field and out-of-field roles.
Employment Types: Details the nature of employment, such as full-time, part-time, contract, freelance, or self-employment roles.
Still Seeking Employment: Represents graduates actively job-seeking but not yet employed within the reporting period.
Median Salary: Shows the midpoint of graduate salaries, offering insight into expected earning potential.
Time-to-Employment: Indicates the average time it takes for graduates to secure a job post-graduation.
Intent and Non-Seekers: Tracks students’ initial job-seeking intentions and those not seeking employment, like those pursuing further education or returning to previous jobs.
Missing or selective data excludes groups like non-graduates or students still seeking jobs.
Claims of high employment or salaries lack independent audits or verification.
Vague metrics like “job placement” fail to specify employment timelines.
Schools skip documenting students’ career goals at enrollment, risking data manipulation.
Reporting periods for employment and salaries are inconsistent or incomplete.
Data lacks annual third-party audits to ensure accuracy and reliability.
Graduates are placed in excessive “other” or undefined employment categories.
High dropout rates are reported without explanations or context.
Employment metrics are inflated by temporary hires within the school itself.
Graduation rates are unclear or missing altogether in the reports.
Collection of Enrollment Data: Schools track all students from enrollment through graduation and document their career intent before classes begin.
Tracking Outcomes: Schools monitor employment outcomes, salaries, and time-to-employment for all graduates, covering various employment types within defined reporting timelines.
Standardized Reporting: Schools submit standardized reports detailing graduation rates, job placements, and salaries using consistent CIRR templates.
Independent Auditing: Third-party auditors annually review and validate all data points, including student counts, salaries, and employment types.
Ongoing Monitoring: CIRR regularly updates reporting standards and processes to reflect industry changes and maintain credibility.

How graduates used CIRR’s verified reports to choose the right program and invest in their futures with confidence.
Seeking transparency with bootcamps at the outset moving forward, I looked for those who disclosed their graduate outcomes and discovered CIRR. The CIRR reports presented all the data I needed to know to feel confident about selecting a bootcamp. Ultimately, I chose my software engineering program based on the data from CIRR and the program's rigorous admissions process.
I believe CIRR has a considerable impact, as Hacktiv8 remains competitive despite increasing market competition. Providing transparent graduation data is essential, especially for a long-standing coding bootcamp like Hacktiv8. Transparency is key to maintaining credibility and standing out in the industry. Among the CIRR data points, I find the time it takes for graduates to secure jobs to be the most critical, as fresh graduates and career switchers need to know how soon they can gain work experience. If someone is considering a bootcamp, I would definitely recommend Hacktiv8, as it has had a positive impact on my career so far.
Being able to see the placement outcomes of coding bootcamps had a strong impact on my decision. Code Platoon’s commitment to transparency, particularly through reporting their outcomes to CIRR, gave me confidence in their ability to support graduates in finding jobs. Seeing clear data on employment rates and salaries helped me compare programs objectively and ultimately reinforced my decision to choose Code Platoon.
The CIRR reports gave me the assurance that I wasn't just buying into promises and marketing but investing in a program that had a proven track record. After graduating from Codesmith, and landing a position with a software company leading their field, I'm grateful that I was able to find and review the information provided through CIRR. Perhaps more importantly, I'm grateful I was able to rely on it.
The transparency in CIRR’s graduate outcomes report significantly influenced my decision to enroll. Having access to verified placement data provided me with confidence in the program. The key factors I considered were the placement rate and the time it took for graduates to secure jobs. Since the average time was around three months, it reassured me before joining. CIRR data is an important consideration for any bootcamp, as it helps prospective students make informed decisions.
When I was looking into various coding bootcamps, I wanted to ensure that the placement rates and employment outcomes that were advertised on Code Platoon's website were relevant and accurate. The fact that CIRR had consistent reporting with an independent agency allowed me to feel comfortable choosing them among the many bootcamps I could find online.
CIRR had a significant influence on my decision (to enroll in Hacktiv8 program). I read the report before enrolling, and the results were convincing enough to give me confidence in the program. Among the data points, employment results and median annual base salary stood out as the most relevant to me. I would certainly recommend others to check CIRR, as it provides factual insights into what they can expect after graduating from the bootcamp.
I looked at a lot of coding bootcamp options. Code Platoon stood out for many reasons, including their transparency regarding their job placement outcomes, and their participation in CIRR, and that ultimately helped me choose Code Platoon.
