What will he be doing with us?
Alan’s passion is one-to-one learning, delivered one to many, with each student learning at their own pace. It is this concept that, with CareerFoundry, Alan, is applying to online education and which together will be our underlying principle when rolling out the Teaching Teachers How To Code service for schools, teachers and students.

CareerFoundry, with Alan’s expertise, experience and network, is launching a fantastic new product which address the challenge put in place by government mandates which demand that every child must learn how to code. With this product we plan to tackle the increasing global tech skills gap through the education of the next generation of programmers. Changing the way schools and teachers are educated is the first step.
