Transform your career with Hack Upstate.

Careers in Code is a coding bootcamp that teaches computer programming to women and people of color 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 people of color to advance in concentrated areas of extreme poverty.

Many Central and Upstate NY employers struggle to find local software developers.
