You can be part of a founding volunteer team for our next cohort in Manchester. A group of 30 trainees are waiting to start the programme and take their first steps into tech.
We need five experienced software engineers to help us launch our programme in Manchester. You don't need any teaching experience. If you enjoy sharing knowledge and working in a team, we will guide you through the rest.
