Code Platoon

Juneteenth marks a pivotal moment in our nation’s history—the end of slavery in the United States—and a continued call to build a more equitable future.

At Code Platoon, we believe access to opportunity matters. Creating pathways into tech careers is one way we contribute to that progress.

Today, we recognize the significance of Juneteenth and the work that continues.

A career in tech may be more affordable than you think.

Code Platoon offers scholarships that help military spouses and dependents access high-quality software engineering training with little to no out-of-pocket tuition costs.

If you're ready to build new skills, launch a new career, and join a supportive community, we're here to help.
