Code First Girls is on a mission to close the gender gap in the tech industry by providing employment through free education. We’ve already helped more than 90,000 women learn to code and working with companies globally, we’re boosting employability, diversity and social mobility, transforming local economies and communities.

But we want to go further – our aim is to provide one million opportunities for women to learn to code and participate in the industry in the next five years, becoming the world’s first EdTech unicorn dedicated to women. Code First Girls works with over 50 Universities across the country to offer free coding courses and employment opportunities to their female and non-binary students. In addition to working with more than 100 businesses, including NatWest, BAE Systems and Nike, Code First Girls works with the UK government to improve its tech talent pipeline, partnering with departments such as GCHQ, The Cabinet Office and No.10 Downing Street.
