Not only are qualifications in coding highly regarded, companies are actively looking to recruit more women to help close the gender gap across the industry.
GROWTH EACH YEAR
(AND SET TO CONTINUE)
Tech continues to grow each year, and this is predicted to continue over the next decade (and probably beyond!) Not only that, but it is growing everywhere.
INDUSTRY AGNOSTIC

The great thing about learning how to code is that you can work across multiple industries (and countries!) – finance to health to retail and more – so you’ll never get stuck in one place.
JOB OPPORTUNITIES
LUCRATIVE CAREERS
With in-demand skills comes lucrative careers. You could start off as a developer and grow into a DevOps role or even move your way up to a CTO position. Plus, the pay is pretty good too!
HAPPIEST ROLES
JOB SATISIFICATION
