Per a new report released by the Clayton Christensen Institute, “boot camps have a straightforward and simple value proposition: they are designed to help their graduates find good jobs.” The value of these educational boot camps comes in dollars saved for the learner. Rather than paying a premium to head to a traditional college and meet all sorts of degree requirements which may not even be passingly correlative with their field, learners can invest in these skill-focused boot camps which prep them for a particular job or field they are interested in. Are these boot camps viable over the long run? Are they really a powerful disruption waiting to happen for traditional universities? The answers to these questions remain unclear.
