“Qualified” is a choice institutions make
We redesign who gets counted as ready, so that ability matters more than paperwork, postcodes or passports.
About us
Ten years of building new doors to work
Re:Coded is a non-profit founded in 2016. We train underserved talent in more than 145 countries in AI fluency, digital skills and the judgement no tool replaces.
We began by training young people in conflict-affected communities to become software developers. Then AI erased the entry-level jobs those bootcamps led to. So we started again, with programs built for the work that’s left: judgement, AI fluency and the resilience to keep adapting.
Rooted in the Middle East and North Africa. Learners in 145+ countries.
We started where opportunity was hardest to reach: Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen, and refugee communities in Turkey and Jordan. Online programs now bring in learners from across the world, while MENA stays at the heart of what we do.

Our story
We changed our model because the world of work changed first
- 2016
Founded, and our first bootcamp
Young people in conflict-affected communities needed jobs. The tech industry needed developers. We set out to build the bridge.
- 2016–2024
Thousands of graduates
A high quality education to employment model with an 87% job placement rate, and graduates working in Fortune 500 companies across the globe.
- 2024
We decided to pause and reinvent
As AI reshaped entry-level tech work, we asked whether we were still solving the right problem, and wound down the bootcamps.
- 2025
Rebuilt for the AI era
New programs built for the AI era: AI fluency, the human capabilities no model can replicate, and the resilience to keep adapting.
What we believe
Judgement outlasts any tool
Tools change every year. We teach how they work, where they fail, and how to think clearly alongside them.
The goal is work with dignity
Not a certificate. Work that pays, lasts and is chosen, and the resilience to keep adapting when it changes.
