CodeWorks is a career exploration program where Baltimore City youth ages 14-21 explore career pathways into technology through hands-on projects and collaboration with industry professionals.

Participants, called Tech Trainees, are paid for CodeWorks through a partnership with YouthWorks. More information and payment can be found on the Getting Paid and YouthWorks Information pages.

The goal of CodeWorks is to nurture critical thinking skills, improve tech skills using industry-standard tools and provide young adults with a strong foundation for the workforce. CodeWorks accomplishes these goals through the following features of the program:

Advisory | To start the day all Trainees are assigned an advisory supervisor that supports the Trainee through their CodeWorks experience. During Advisory trainees develop their portfolio, work on soft-skills, and explore their career interests.

Tech Track | Trainees are assigned to a track to gain hands-on experience in industry-recognized technology tools to develop solutions to real-world projects.

Dual Enrollment | Eligible rising 10th, 11th and 12th graders can take a college-level mini-course to enrich their math skills, explore entrepreneurship, or learn how to make a difference in their community in a social justice course

Enrichment | Graduates and students new to the workforce will explore workforce skills tailored to their experiences.

Showcase | Trainees will share their projects with their peers and community at the end of the program on August 8. This is an opportunity for Trainees to share what they have learned, reflect on the work they have done, and practice the communication and soft skills learned.

Lunch & Breakfast | Breakfast and lunch are offered on-site daily but CodeWorkers are welcome to leave the building to obtain lunch or bring their own from home (refrigeration is available).
