How LaunchCode Courses Stay Free

LaunchCode is a nonprofit on a mission to create new pathways to careers in technology. By shifting the burden of training costs away from the learner and to the employer, everyone benefits.

LaunchCode’s unique model relies on three sources: donations from community members, public and private grants to support education and job preparedness, and the revenue we earn from employers after paying wages and benefits to our apprentices. Because we’re a nonprofit organization, all the money goes to support the next cohort of classes and apprenticeship jobs, and the cycle sustains itself.
