Volunteer: Be an Advocate for Albany Can Code!

What is Albany Cam Code?

AlbanyCanCode was established in the summer of 2016 to serve two key stakeholder groups: local employers of software and IT professionals, and local folks who have the aptitude to work in software but lack local options for training. Our initial 12-week course in Front End Web Development attracted more than 80 applicants. A majority of the ten final students were income-qualified for a full grant of the $1,500 tuition. Following course completion in late January 2017, nearly half of our students have now been hired or are in the process of interviewing for internships at area software employers

Project Description:

Become an advocate for Albany Can Code by taking a moment to browse our website and social media channels. Share a post on your personal social media about the work we do and reach out to us about more exciting opportunities!
