Access Code 2.1 and 2.2 Cohorts

I got my start in iOS development from an amazing non-profit organization in New York City called Coalition for Queens (C4Q).

They run Access Code, a software development program that trains adults from undeserved populations to become industry ready programmers. Their goal is to help create a more diverse and inclusive tech community.

“We believe that people from every community — across gender, ethnic, and socio-economic backgrounds — should have the opportunity to learn to code, gain jobs in tech, and create companies of the future. Access Code cohorts are designed to be fully representative of the greater New York City community.”

The education I received in the iOS cohort was rigorous. If you or anyone you know might be interested, they’re currently accepting applications for this year’s cohorts in Android, iOS, and Full Stack Development until the end of this week — JULY 8th.

Don’t hesitate. Apply now.
