The Job Hackers

The Job Hackers is a nonprofit and was founded in October 2017. Our grassroots organization provides free training to increase diversity and inclusion at technology companies. To date, the nonprofit has trained over unemployed people in Agile, Scrum and modern behavioral theories. As a result, over 41% of participants gain employment mostly as Project Managers, Scrum Masters and Product Owners within 90 days of taking the class. Our mission is to provide individuals with the knowledge and experience needed to navigate the complex world of knowledge work. This is delivered by not only giving our participants valuable knowledge about software development to prepare them for real-world jobs, but by working with them and employers to ensure the proper placement of participants. Monthly Meet-ups are organized bringing past and present students together to hear updates and trends from keynote market leaders. All classes and Meet-ups are held remotely by Zoom or in donated space.
