The fund has been created to “empower” cisgender women and transgender, non-binary, and intersex people of all genders who want to forge a career in tech.

Sam Caine, COO of Northcoders, said: “We have run several diversity funds over the years in an effort to make Northcoders more accessible to underrepresented groups. However, our courses are now fully funded by the DfE so it was time to revisit things to ensure this new bursary is as strong, targeted and relevant as possible – especially as diversity and inclusion are a big part of who we are.”

The Northcoders Gender Diversity Fund has been designed to provide financial support of £1,500 for living expenses to individuals attending its 13-week coding bootcamp.
