Tech Equity is about combining our mission of building stable career paths for the next generation with supporting local businesses transition towards digital autonomy. This creates a tight cycle of local prosperity: our candidates build skills developing real software, businesses earn more money and the local community gets career opportunities.
Think back to the era between roughly 1975-2000, a time when many of the most revered and celebrated software developers of today started their careers by teaching themselves to code. Wealthy companies hired these enthusiastic young programmers on nothing more than the word of a colleague. In the earliest days of the profession, everyone was self-taught and learned the details on-the-job.
So what was the Learn to Code movement of the late 2000s even about if everyone was self-taught? It signified that people were no longer teaching themselves computer programming, because the web had changed how people used computers entirely. Nonetheless, you need a computer and broadband to even access the web. Not everyone got to participate in this movement.
During the unprecedented lows of 2025, we are finding ways to bring value to our friends, family and community. We're continuing our work on the project and we're SUPER excited to share it! Current apprentice candidates contribute to these projects -- if you're wondering what it looks like to go from Beginner skill to Apprentice skill through our training program, it's a great example!
Programmers Guild is doing our part to ensure open doors for young professionals who will build
the software of the future. We want members of our community to be equal participants in the digital economy by learning to be
more than digital consumers. Thank you to our sponsors for supporting free workshops and a special
thanks to our partners for building programs with us!
Our mission has been nurtured and supported by our beloved community at Oakstop, and our amazing partner Soul Beat TV! These organizations have our eternal gratitude for all of their support! To all of our partners and supporters: THANK YOU.
