The tech talent pipeline is 600,000 technologists short. Women and people of color are significantly underrepresented in the talent pool due to a lack of exposure and opportunity. Our courses invest in non-traditional talent, raising the earning potential of often-overlooked individuals while building a more equitable tech economy that benefits everyone. Many of our students report a significant increase in yearly earnings after completing just one of our courses.

Since the start of this year, we have been able to upskill over 700 people with your support!

Unleashing Potential
We believe that undiscovered tech talent is everywhere, but opportunities are lacking for women and BIPOC individuals. We raise that talent up and provide a clear path forward for accessing tech job opportunities.
Creating Opportunity
Four year degrees are unattainable for many. Our reduced-cost, hands-on courses get people coding in weeks, not years. Over 90% of our students obtain scholarships or financial aid to cover the cost of some (or all) of their tuition.
Building Communities
We connect employers, funders, fellow nonprofits, and higher education partners with our students to create a robust hiring pipeline.
