There’s a constant need for adept programmers in Atlanta’s growing tech industry, and national nonprofit Persevere is working to help fill that gap with people coming out of incarceration.

They offer a one-year program teaching full-stack software development and life skills through corrections systems.

Their first class of 12 graduates recently completed the course at the Metro Reentry Facility in Atlanta.
