Connect to Employers
Candidates are carefully matched with hiring companies for compatibility in technical skills, soft skills, workplace fit, and drive.
Get Hired Full Time
More than four out of five LaunchCode apprentices are hired on as full-fledged employees at the end of their apprenticeship.
We help job seekers enter the tech field by matching driven, qualified workers from all different types of
backgrounds with employers experiencing a shortage of talent.
Here's how it works:
Tell us your story and show us your tech skills through a brief online application (20-30 min) and coding puzzles (30-60 min). Get Started!
Allow yourself at least 1 hour to complete your HackerRank test. Your test scores are a big portion of your application process.
Tell us more about your learning journey, and show us a project that displays your tech skills. We then work with you on your evaluation.
Grow your programming skills, while our placement team starts connecting you to interviews for tech apprenticeships with employers.
Work on a team of experienced software developers, get paired with a mentor that invests in your growth, learn on the job, and prove yourself.
Dependent on your employer evaluation of your apprenticeship, you may receive a potential job offer once your contract is up.
At LaunchCode, we seek to create career pathways for people who want to work in tech from all different backgrounds.
Tech talent exists across the board, but the opportunity to start a career in tech has not been equally distributed. We work to level the playing field and change that.
We believe if you have the skills to do the job, work hard, and keep learning, then you should get the job.
"I've been in the military, at a university, in the workforce, and never really
found my niche... Then I ran into LaunchCode and actually found a career that I enjoy, get to
continuously learn and be interested in the job."
