LAYING FOUNDATIONS
FOR DIVERSE GROWTH
DAZN is growing rapidly with offices around the world and is committed to scaling with diversity in front-of-mind.
Their EDI team are using Code First Girls courses to encourage upskilling of their existing team and to build a foundation of diversity-focused employer brand identity.
TRANSFORMATIVE
TEAM SPIRIT
While DAZN did not plan on hiring any of the candidates that they trained on their pilot run of the CFGdegree, they ended up hiring four incredible candidates from the Code First Girls cohort.
They also offered the educational opportunity to an internal employee who went on to switch into a software engineering role after completing the Code First Girls CFGdegree. Learn about Hawa’s experiences here.

DAZN:
HOW IT ALL CAME TOGETHER
DAZN were active across all Code First Girls product areas in 2021. Read more about each partner product delivery below.
DAZN hosted several MOOCs with astonishing outcomes and massive awareness, generating employer branding impact.
DAZN delivered MOOCs streamed live on YouTube, garnering hundreds of views and engagement with women across the world. Topics included dev tools for web development and others.
Code First Girls’ Coding Kickstarter and Career Switcher courses gave DAZN the chance to provide targeted 8-week training to hundreds of high-potential candidates.
Hundreds of women took part in DAZN branded 8-week Career Switcher courses, introducing them to concepts and applications of web development, software development, and data science.
Many women made a career switch into tech and were placed in roles across DAZN’s technology organisation after completing the CFGdegree.
DAZN was not planning on hiring any candidates off the back of the CFGdegree, but they were so astonished by the quality and passion of the candidates, they couldn’t help but hire some!
