Several technical education organizations, including Codecademy, Thinkful, The Flatiron School and Dev Bootcamp, are working together on a new project they call ReskillUSA. The stated goal of the effort is to “close the gap between technical education and employment.” And for now, it is centered primarily on a Website that offers information on a variety of development education options. It promises that if workers started learning to code now they can “get hired in months.”
