Bookmark: 2U Ends Boot Camps, Shifts to Microcredentials
I’m intrigued by how 2U is evolving by dropping its boot camps in favor of microcredentials. As reported by Inside Higher Ed, this shift reflects how education systems must adapt to new markets and tech trends. This change highlights the demand for flexible skills in today’s fast-moving digital world.
A notable quote from the article is, “Simply put, the long-form, intensive training that boot camps provide no longer aligns with what the market wants and needs,” as stated by Matt Norden, 2U’s interim CEO.
