The authors of this paper put forward a core judgment: compared with traditional university degrees, AI bootcamps are better able to help their target population enter the AI industry quickly, and the core difference between the two models lies in their path adaptation logic. AI bootcamps have two core advantages. First, their hands-on Ai course certification covers machine learning, deep learning, generative AI, and Python technology, and is paired with real-world projects that learners can include in their professional portfolios. Second, they provide supporting services including resume development, interview coaching, professional networking connections, and employment placement assistance. Traditional university degrees still retain their unique academic value, and AI bootcamps are better suited for the specific group of people aiming to secure employment quickly.
