What Re:Coded does

Re:Coded is a U.S.-based nonprofit organization (501(c)(3), EIN #81-4604206), co-founded in 2017 by CEO Alexandra Clare and COO Marcello Bonatto, that delivers free digital skills training to underserved youth, refugees, and early-career individuals across 145 countries, with a stated focus on the Middle East and emerging markets. Its product portfolio includes self-paced Skill:Up Courses (UX/UI Design, Software Development, Workplace Skills, Job Search, and Digital Freelancing), the selective 4-month Resilient Futures Fellowship, intensive Bootcamp Programs (Front-End Web Development, UX/UI Design, React, and Backend Development), the Open Study Hub resource library, and Events & Webinars — all offered free of charge under a Creative Commons license. The organization does not develop proprietary software; its delivery runs on standard online learning infrastructure supplemented by partnerships with Coursera, Udacity, and Datacamp for content, and Zoom and Slack for program delivery.

Re:Coded's operating model is community-led and grant-funded rather than revenue-generating. Programs are distributed entirely online through a self-service model (re-coded.com/start-learning) and a selective fellowship application track, reaching learners primarily through partnerships with humanitarian organizations (UNDP, MercyCorps, ACTED), government agencies (GIZ, London Digital Jobs & Skills Hub), and corporate supporters (Bloomberg, Microsoft, Google, Flatiron School). Curriculum is co-developed with Flatiron School, and the organization claims an 87% job placement rate within 6 months, 25,000+ learners trained, 1,400+ bootcamp graduates, 22,000 Skill:Up enrollees, and a 100,000+ person community with a 4.6/5 rating across 9,000+ reviews. Graduates have been hired by Virgin, Adidas, Starbucks, Atlassian, Getir, and Thinkific, among others.

Direct peers

• Per Scholas: U.S.-based nonprofit providing tuition-free IT and tech skills training to adults from underserved communities, with employer partnerships for job placement. Directly comparable in mission, no-cost model, and outcomes focus to Re:Coded, though Per Scholas is more U.S.-centric while Re:Coded operates globally.
• Generation: Global nonprofit operating in dozens of countries that delivers free, employer-aligned bootcamps in tech and digital skills to unemployed and underemployed adults. Closest direct peer to Re:Coded in combining international reach, no-cost training, employer placement, and a focus on underserved learners.
• NPower: Nonprofit providing free digital skills and workforce training to military veterans and young adults from underserved communities, with strong corporate hiring partners. Comparable in mission, free-to-learner model, and tech-skills curriculum, though more focused on North America than Re:Coded's Middle East/global footprint.
• Resilient Coders: Nonprofit coding bootcamp preparing young adults from underserved Boston neighborhoods for careers in software development. Directly comparable in combining free coding training, portfolio projects, and employer placement for marginalized youth.
• LaunchCode: Nonprofit offering free coding training and job-placement programs with a focus on career changers and underrepresented groups in tech. Directly comparable in the free-bootcamp, employer-paid-hire model and outcomes-driven mission.
• The Knowledge House: Nonprofit providing technology and digital skills training to young adults in underserved NYC and Atlanta communities, with employer pipelines. Directly comparable in free-to-learner tech bootcamps targeting underserved urban youth.
• Pursuit: New York-based nonprofit training low-income adults in software engineering with long-form, employer-aligned fellowship programs. Closely comparable to Re:Coded's selective fellowship model and placement-driven outcomes, particularly the Resilient Futures Fellowship.
• TalentLift: Nonprofit focused on connecting displaced and refugee talent with upskilling and employment opportunities, including in Canada. A direct peer given Re:Coded's partnership with TalentLift and overlapping mission around displaced populations.

Broad incumbents

• General Assembly: Established for-profit bootcamp and adult learning provider offering courses in software engineering, UX, and data; pivoted heavily into enterprise/corporate training. Comparable to Re:Coded's bootcamp curriculum areas (UX/UI, Front-End, Backend) but serves a paid learner and corporate client base rather than underserved learners free of charge.

Emerging players

• Code for America: Nonprofit that trains technologists to work on civic and social-impact projects with government. Compares thematically to Re:Coded around technology-for-social-impact, though Code for America focuses on civic/government outcomes rather than refugee employment.
