MigraCode is the first code academy for refugees and migrants in Barcelona. We act as a bridge between the demand for skilled people in the tech sector and people with a migration background who are eager to work in the tech industry.
Our academy is therefore freely accessible for people with a migration background and limited access to the labour market. We are also in contact with many tech companies in and around Barcelona and we aim to find jobs for our students after they graduate from our coding course, with help from the employability training that we also offer. In order to foster not only labour but also social integration, we work towards inclusion of newcomers and host-country nationals through our program and our events. Finally, we do not only support our students with learning how to code, but we also offer soft skill trainings, psychological support and other forms of additional but necessary support.
Founded in 2019, we are hosted by the Open Cultural Center and cooperating with other code schools in Europe to build a large community of companies and students to foster both labor integration as well as social inclusion.
