At Makers, we're excited to partner with codebar and offer direct access to our apprenticeship opportunities for codebar members. codebar is a charity that facilitates the growth of a diverse tech community by running free regular programming workshops for minority groups in tech.
Apprenticeships are a great way to launch your tech career as you are paid from day 1 of your training and have support from Makers, as well as your employer, throughout your journey.
On this page, you can register to join our apprenticeships pool, which means you'll be the first to be notified when companies are hiring for roles that suit your preference based on the criteria you list on the form below.
We'll be working with a number of exciting employer partners, some of which include:

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- What's the process?
After registering, we'll email you some activities to complete on CodeAcademy. Once completed you need to complete a Coderbyte timed assessment. If successful you will join our pool and be the first people to hear about future apprenticeship cohorts. If unsuccessful we will provide you with some coding resources to continue building on your skills to be accepted in the future.
We'd love to meet you and find out about what employers are right for you. We will conduct 121 interviews and provide feedback to get you ready to meet our hiring partners.
As apprenticeship cohorts open for 2022, you will be first in line to be interviewed for these opportunities once these stages are completed.
Makers will then review CVs and feedback to select a shortlist of candidates to interview for one of our exciting employer partners. - What are the dates?
