Five cohorts that graduated between October 2025 and March 2026. 112 people started. This is where each of them is.
Everyone, counted.
58%
of all 112 people who started were working in software within 180 days of their cohort's graduation date. Counting only the 86 graduates who looked for work, it was 76%. We lead with the smaller number.
Sample data for this concept build. Updated Oct 5, 2026, after FT-22's 180 days closed on Sep 23.

How we count.
Every placement or salary figure anywhere on this site comes from this table and nowhere else.
- Who counts
- Everyone enrolled on the first day of class. Nobody is removed later for not answering us; a student we cannot reach counts as not working in software.
- Working in software
- A job where writing or reviewing code is the main duty. Full-time means 32 hours a week or more with no end date. Contracts of 3 months or more, part-time roles and apprenticeships are counted separately as other in field.
- Not counted as a hire
- Jobs at Codeyard, including teaching assistant roles, unpaid internships, and freelance work under $5,000 in the window. Each is listed in the yearly report.
- Salaries
- Base salary only, no bonus or equity, from an offer letter or pay stub the graduate shares with us. The median uses only those documents: 50 of the 58 full-time hires.
- Not seeking
- Six students told us in writing they were not looking: two went back to a degree, two had visa limits on working, one left for health reasons, one started a company.
- Who checks it
- An outside CPA matches every hire against its document each year. The same figures go into the School Performance Fact Sheet you initial before you enroll.
