Become a referral partner

We are happy to discuss connecting individuals to our program and partnering with your organization.

What makes our engineers unique

Participants of diverse educational backgrounds and experiences have been successful in our program. For this reason, we do not have minimum traditional education requirements. We do, however, seek referrals of candidates who identify as a survivor of human trafficking. AnnieCannons' training program is rigorous and requires commitment and drive for participants to succeed. The more interest and motivation participants have in the program, the more they will get out of it.

Our model

The AnnieCannons Coding Training Program trains and prepares survivors of human trafficking for careers in tech. Our trauma-responsive program assumes no prior computer or coding experience.

The program is cost-free for participants.

After referral, candidates submit an application and are invited to schedule an interview designed to assess aptitude for success in our program. In order to best support participants, we keep class sizes small and accept a maximum of 15 participants into each module. Candidates who are not accepted into a given module may be encouraged to apply again.

Hear what our engineers say

Making the decision to attend the AnnieCannons coding boot camp was honestly a last resort for me and one of the best decisions I have ever made. They saw my potential, believed in me, had much patience, and taught me the skills I needed to become a successful software engineer. Which then provided me with the tools and income I needed to move towards a more safe, healthy, and stable life. For that I am forever grateful.

I remember [when I] qualified to move forward in the admissions process. I could not believe it. It has [now] been about a year since I [became] a part of the AnnieCannons team. AnnieCannons gives us every reason to keep going, keep learning, and be our own boss by providing us with lifetime trainings [to] stay up-to-date with [the] skills required to be the BEST qualified developers we can be!

When I first came to AnnieCannons, I [doubted] myself and felt that I had no purpose at all. As a survivor of human trafficking, I thought that my life was over. AnnieCannons changed my life 180 degrees. I found new meaning and purpose [to] my existence, and never had I imagined that I could be that badass engineer that I always wanted to be.
