"The Technical Interview Preparation course is not just another course; it's a transformative experience that equips you with the skills and confidence needed to tackle the toughest coding problems and excel in interviews...The course dives deep into hands-on practice and guidance from experienced instructors...The confidence I gained from mastering the fundamentals opened doors to opportunities I previously thought were out of reach."

Taaruni, Georgia State University - Class of 2024

CodePath’s E3 program has prepped me for the computer science industry outside of a regular classroom setting; from meeting incredibly supportive mentors to getting coached by industry professionals in one of the many courses offered by CodePath, I’ve grown both from learning as a TIP student and from networking with their career support."

WHO YOU ARE:

Currently enrolled at Perimeter College, Georgia State University in Atlanta, or Miami Dade College or Florida International University in Miami*

Earning your Bachelor’s 2026 or later

Willing to complete CodePath courses and free career programming

Want to join a supportive community of other future tech leaders

Hoping to get a technical internship before you graduate

Aspire to have a technical career

97% more likely to land a full-time tech role

The numbers are clear—students who engage in a technical internship as an undergraduate are 65% more likely to land a full-time technical role within six months of graduation. That metric improves to 97% if the student completes two technical internships prior to graduation.

The Codepath E³ Program is designed to accelerate the progress of computing students by positioning them to secure one and, in some cases, multiple technical internship opportunities before graduation. This commitment to internship readiness sets students up for success.

"The focus on hands-on activities and real-life scenarios made for an awesome learning experience. I appreciated how the course was structured in a way that reflected the nature of Cybersecurity."

ANGELA MEI LI

Engineer, LG Electronics
CUNY Baruch College

"I’ve always been fascinated with the hackers' world. It was lucky of me, against many other applicants, to be accepted into this course. Although it could be a bit challenging without prior basic knowledge, the lectures are quite informative. Every week we get to explore new topics and hacking concepts with practice. I believe some problems are close simulations of real-world scenarios. To anyone pursuing a career path in Cybersecurity, this course truly aligns with your passion."

ZAVIER BEROLO

Software Engineer Program Intern, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co
CUNY Baruch College

"For my cohort specifically, I am very happy that I am learning essentially first-hand what "hacking" really is including cybersecurity fundamentals. Also, the teachers have been amazing and have gone the extra-mile to help me and the other classmates countless amounts of times already."

ABIGAIL LEE

Morgan State University

“CodePath's cybersecurity program was a life changing opportunity for me. I learned so much that would benefit me individually and any organization I become a part of. The weekly classes, labs, and individual/group projects made this experience hands-on and so much fun. The knowledge I gained from this class landed me a Summer 2023 internship, what more could I have asked for?”

"Most HBCU CS Chairs are under-resourced. Even if we had the money, there just aren't enough CS professors. CodePath allows us to connect our students directly to what's being taught in the industry plus increase the number and quality of courses taught for free."

BARUCH SCHIEBER, PH.D.

Professor and Chair, Department of Computer Science, New Jersey Institute of Technology

“CodePath is leveling the playing field. We are not one of the top 10 universities, but with CodePath we can give our students similar opportunities. With CodePath our students are introduced to the state of the art tools that are used in the industry, which may not be covered in other courses.”

ELI ARMSTRONG

Instructor, College of Southern Nevada

“CodePath is filling the gap between school work and the real world. CodePath helps students practice things like teamwork and using Git resources that would be considered dishonest in the academic setting. They’re giving students a real-world technical experience and proof that you actually know how to do the job.”
