GET WITH OUR PROGRAM

 

Do you love to code, dig into messy data, or build things? Can’t explain why, but it’s what you need to do? No matter what everyone else in your favorite companies looks like—you know there has to be a place for you. There needs to be a place for you.

Let’s work together to make that happen.

 
 

For candidates who have the foundational technical skills*, we provide you with the complete career launchpad — professional skills to navigate the employee life cycle, technical skill-up programming, agency, community — and we make it matter. We’ll give you unrestricted access to everything you need to equip yourself for success. Then, you will find your place in the tech and innovation landscape. And make it better.

*Hack.Diversity does not teach technical skills from scratch. If you have zero foundation in skills related to software engineering, mechanical engineering, or data analytics at this time, put us on hold and come back when you’ve completed a few courses. We’re fans of some of these mission-aligned organizations for you to do so!
