Important Message regarding Code Kentucky
Unfortunately, Code:You (aka Code Kentucky) has made the difficult decision to shut the program down. For more information, please see our statement here.
Employers and mentors, there are still ways to get involved with our final classes. Reach out for more info!
Mentorship from Tech Pros
Code Kentucky blends self-guided online learning with weekly virtual meetups and mentorship. Meetups will consist of other students working through your pathway, as well as experienced developers who serve as mentors to help answer your questions and provide a glimpse of what it’s like to work in the tech industry.
Learn In-demand Skills
Kentucky has a shortage of qualified tech workers. Over the course of two, 12-week sessions, you’ll learn a coding language that is in high demand throughout the region, including JavaScript, C#, or Python.

As you fine-tune your coding skills, the Code Kentucky team will support you in your job search. We’ll help you update your resume, prepare for interviews, and connect you with employers that are hiring now.
