about us

Who We're Designed For

We built Code Black Tech for the person who is tired of the daily grind but doesn't know where to start. The one who wants work that challenges them, pays them fairly, and actually means something. The parent who wants to provide for their kids. The professional who knows the world is changing and doesn't want to get left behind.

You don't need a degree. You don't need prior experience. You need drive and a willingness to learn — we'll handle everything else.

What Makes Us Different

Code Black Tech is a social impact nonprofit built around one idea: access to tech careers shouldn't depend on who you know or what you can afford. What sets us apart isn't just what we teach — it's how we teach it.

1

Smaller classes

You're not a number. You get real attention from instructors who know your name and your goals.

2

Hands-on from day one

We don't lecture you through slides. You learn by doing — real labs, real projects, real problems.

3

Instructors from the community

Our instructors have faced the same challenges our students face. They know how to meet you where you are.

4

No red tape

We removed the barriers that keep talented people out of other programs. If you're ready to learn, you're welcome here.

5

Soft skills are built in, not bolted on

Employers tell us what they need, and it's not just certifications. We train our graduates in communication, problem-solving, teamwork, adaptability, professionalism, and customer service mindset — because that's what actually gets you hired and keeps you there.
