In response to growing unemployment numbers, Codecademy recently announced a new initiative that aims to grant 100,000 unemployed or furloughed workers access to its premium online coding education resources.
The company says it has committed to granting five Codecademy Pro memberships to workers that have been furloughed or laid off due to the coronavirus pandemic for every person who joins Codecademy Pro.
Those who subscribe to Codecademy Pro at www.codecademy.com/worker-support/ will assist Codecademy in providing five memberships to affected workers. Affected workers will be able to apply for their Codecademy Pro scholarship beginning April 23.
