Nashville technology job postings jumped 44 percent year-over-year in the third quarter, according to CompTIA, a trade association focused on IT. A number of nonprofit and for-profit entities such as Vanderbilt, the Greater Nashville Technology Council and the Nashville Software School have created boot camps to help foster the local talent pool to try and fill these technology positions. Now, Amazon — which has rapidly expanded its Nashville footprint over the past 12 months — is jumping on board the boot camp train.

On Monday, the Nashville Software School and Amazon announced a collaboration on a new software boot camp aimed at teaching individuals with no prior coding experience how to code.
