Impacting Lives by Teaching Digital Skills
Due to the crisis in Ukraine we expect to receive more applications that qualify for our program. That’s why we are increasing our capacity to accommodate a larger class. Powercoders was created in response to the refugee crisis of 2015. Our mission has remained strong and unchanged: We promote equal job opportunities for displaced talents in the IT industry.
