DEEPER JOURNEYS: Building Confidence, Skills and Futures

When we started Canada Learning Code more than a decade ago, coding and other technology skills weren’t part of any curriculum and were rare for workforce or professional development opportunities – especially for women. Canada Learning Code quickly rose to the occasion to fill the gaps.

Creating over 1,000,000 learning experiences for learners ages 3 to 93 across every province and territory, we’ve become Canada’s leaders in beginner-friendly technology learning experiences. Think coding, web making, data analytics, design and AI.

As technology and technology education have rapidly evolved in recent years, so have the needs and expectations of our community of learners, volunteers, and funders. While all learning journeys start with a single spark, we recognize the importance of helping our learners go beyond their first introductory experience and meaningfully develop deep, ever-evolving technology skills.

To that end, we’ve spent the past several years evolving our strategic direction, committed to ensuring that our mission remains responsive to those we serve. This includes expanding our offerings beyond hosting our popular and beloved one-off workshops and events to include longer-duration, more intensive offerings like courses and a membership community.

While we’ve mastered introductory learning experiences and built a community of learners and alumni across the country over the past decade, we are early into the shift from breadth to depth and we’re excited to take the next steps in Canada Learning Code’s journey.
