Actualize is an online software engineering bootcamp based in Chicago that offers part-time and full-time bootcamp options. Instructors with professional educational experience teach students full stack web development including Ruby, Rails, JavaScript, VueJS, SQL, and Git. The Online Live classes are conducted in real time with video conferencing. Actualize has a deeply integrated “Job Hacking” curriculum focused on the personal branding and networking skills necessary to land a new job, which Actualize feels is just as important as learning to code.
To apply, students can submit an application via the website, then go through a series of two interviews with an admissions advisor. There are no coding challenges, but students must complete 4 weeks of prework before the program starts.
After the program, students have the option to join its unique Career Support program, which contains additional training for Job Hacking, a job accountability group, and team projects to add to one’s portfolio.

After finishing my undergraduate degree and moving to the Chicago area, I had a strong desire to get into the tech field. I began researching coding bootcamps in the area and even visited a few, including Actualize. When I came to Actualize for the first time, it was clear that they were very interested in applicants that actually wanted to find/switch their career as a developer following the bootcamp. Actualize worked well with my schedule and was in-person, which was important to me. The experience was good and I learned the fundamentals of web development, but overall I learned how to code and the skills needed to dive deeper or learn more languages moving forward. I would recommend Actualize to someone who is looking to get their foot into the tech field and has a strong interest in computers/programming/web development. There are so many routes that one can take following the bootcamp and Actualize will make sure you know how to make needed connections in order to (hopefully) find a position following the program. The faculty there really care about the students and are always available to help out with anything.
