Guiding Principles

Many individuals folks have never had the chance to learn basic technical skills and therefore have never had the opportunity to assess if a technical career path might be a good fit. Code Tenderloin’s technical programs are a free, low-barrier opportunity for you to find out for yourself if you are interested and have an aptitude for growing your technical skills. If so, we aspire to support you in gaining deeper skills and working towards a career in tech!

Learning technical skills and gaining employment in a technical role is definitely not an overnight transformation. It takes dedication, focus, self-motivation, and grit. But we know that it’s hard to put in the time when you don’t know where you’re heading. With Code Tenderloin’s technical programs, we aim to provide a clear roadmap of the timeline and potential steps needed to transition into a technical role. 

Aside from building technical skills, Code Tenderloin’s technical programs facilitate relationships—learner to learner, learner to tech employee, tech employee to tech employee. We foster connection through live learning experiences and enable you to build potentially fruitful networks for your future job prospects.

By encouraging learners to embrace and cultivate their growth mindset, problem solving skills, and curiosity, we seek to help you build skills that set you up for better success in any field, not just a technical role.
