Tech careers launched since 2013.
We believe talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not. We're changing that.
In 2013, Jim McKelvey saw a gap in the tech workforce that no one was closing. His answer was radical in its simplicity: free education and job placement for anyone willing to put in the work.
Since then, LaunchCode has trained and placed thousands in technical roles at Mastercard, Centene, Boeing, Broadcom, Cigna, Booz Allen Hamilton, and more than 500 other employers.
Now we're leading the next chapter. Hire Human is our initiative to build an AI-ready workforce — ensuring people aren't replaced by technology, but equipped to work alongside it.
