Last month, we celebrated our first class of graduates from CodeSkool at our Southeast Career Center.

Twenty one young adults, aged 16-24, explored dynamic, future careers in Information Technology (IT). Participants gained hands-on experience in web development to build web applications. The 7-week program introduced coding languages including Java Script, CSS, HTML and Ruby on Rails in a rigorous and fast-paced environment. The students then demonstrated the skills acquired by presenting their innovative app ideas that included meditation, budget management, health and wellness and audio streaming apps.

Currently offered at CSCF’s Southeast Career Center, there are plans to expand the programs to more of CareerSource Central Florida’s five career centers in Central Florida.

A new session of ‘CodeSkool’ begins with a required boot camp on January 13, 2020. If you know of any interested youth, please encourage them to apply or get more information by visiting CareerSourcecentralflorida.com/codeskool.
