About Us
Align Your Skills To The Fastest Growing Occupation In America.
Code Differently is much more than a learning organization that helps jumpstart participants' careers. We expose them to new skills, offer workforce training programs, and help them become ready for the tech industry; challenging them by providing hands-on technical training and education that gives participants the technical and cognitive skills needed to excel in technology-driven workplaces.
The impetus for Code Differently was born out of our own personal experiences, as both the founders grew up in tech deserts and as decision makers in the tech hiring space. We are tech entrepreneurs with a collective passion for bridging the gap between education and local market needs. We know firsthand the impact lack of access to tech skills and technical training has on securing future employment and navigating our tech-focused world. That’s why Code Differently is committed to reversing the statistical trends we see for communities that are under-represented in technology.
