Code Your Future is the UK’s coding school for refugees. Through a six-month programme, it teaches coding and software development which empowers them to gain employment here in their new home.
The whole project is run by volunteers who give up their weekends to mentor these refugees, and Ticketmaster is proud to be involved by providing laptops for incoming students, space for lessons to take place and staff to act as mentors throughout the programme.
Having been in operation for six months now, the first group of refugees graduated from their studies on 11 April. Graduates, mentors and new students came together at Ticketmaster HQ for a graduation ceremony. Here the students presented their final projects – programmes that will assist refugees within the UK – and celebrated their hard work.
The group of incoming students now commence their studies at Ticketmaster each Sunday through to October – and we wish them all the very best!
