Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Education, Vocational & Technical Schools
Mission: Launchcode is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating economic opportunity for aspiring developers through job placement and training in technology.
Programs: Launchcode increases economic opportunity and upward mobility by placing driven individuals into technology apprenticeships and jobs based on aptitude, professionalism, and skills. In 2016, we worked with hundreds of companies and education partners to help our candidates overcome traditional barriers to employment such as formal degrees or years of job experience, placing 232 individuals into apprenticeships or permanent jobs in technology. In pursuit of this goal, launchcode received substantial in-kind support (rent, consulting, accounting and legal services, mentoring, digital marketing and software licenses for apprenticeship candidates) valued at $1,322,458. See schedule o for more information regarding new programs offered. For the first time in 2016 launchcode offered "hello world", "summer of code", and "lc101" as new education programs. Launchcode also welcomed new offices in kansas city and rhode island to educate people and offer apprenticeships in those markets.
