Transform your career with Hack Upstate.
Careers in Code is a coding bootcamp that teaches computer programming to women and minorities to help combat poverty in Central NY. We provide students with the technical skills they need to obtain internships and entry level software development jobs with local employers after 24 weeks of instruction.
Poverty throughout Central NY is rising at an accelerated rate and stifling our region's economic potential.
There are few opportunities for women and minorities to advance in concentrated areas of extreme poverty.
Many Central NY employers struggle to find local software developers.
"...The reason coding bootcamps have proven effective over the years is because they provide vocational training at a fraction of the cost of a college degree."
DOUG CRESCENZI, Founder
"Applying for Careers in Code was one of the best decisions I've made in my entire life! ..."
KELLY COREY, Cohort I Graduate

JOEY BUCZEK, Cohort I Instructor
