Our Core Values
We believe Employment is foundational for all the People
We believe that developing skill is fundamental to active and informed participation in an increasingly digital society and provides all youth with a critical lens for interpreting the world around them. Vocational Training offers life-changing and economic opportunities, whether they pursue careers in technology or not. We create high-quality, approachable experiences to engage all Youths in Vocational Training.
We are committed to equity, access, and opportunity
We believe every Youth in every society should have the opportunity to learn vocational training regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, identity, family income, neighbourhood, or where they are from. To achieve this goal, we work to identify and eliminate barriers that have prevented the inclusion and full participation of underrepresented groups in our society. As an organization, Code is committed to providing an inclusive environment, with equitable access and opportunity for growth and advancement for all Code staff regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, age, marital status, sexual orientation, or identity.
We believe in the power of a collaborative education community
We collaborate with teachers, facilitators, and partners. We value, respect, and learn from the shared expertise of the growing professional computer science education community. We are committed to strengthening this community and we recognize, promote, and amplify the work of all members of this teacher-led movement.
We’re agile and responsive to feedback
We act quickly but thoughtfully. We make decisions with available information, and actively collect new data to confirm understanding or inform change. We listen broadly and deeply to a diverse audience and are responsive to feedback.
We act with integrity and transparency
We act in the best interest of our student-focused mission. In this work, we are accountable to and transparent with our team, Board, donors, facilitators, partners, teachers, and community. We believe in trying new ideas, openly sharing our mistakes, and growing and learning from them. We proactively share information, research, data, processes, decisions, and results. Our products and curriculum are purposefully open for anyone to use or contribute.
We believe broad impact requires thinking big and acting holistically
We are creating sustainable change in education systems through policies, products, services, and partnerships that impact all levels of education, from the individual student or classroom to entire schools, districts, states, or countries. We strategically use available resources to make long-term investments that will have a positive, lasting impact on students' lives.
"Anybody can learn" (whether you’re a student or teacher)
We believe in opportunity for every youth in every institute. Anybody can start with the ABCs and 123s of computer science and any other field. To go beyond the basics, you need hard work and perseverance. You’ll make mistakes, but that’s how one learns, especially in Vocational Training.
It’s about "Livelihood," not “code,” and our focus is on Unemployed Youths
Even if you don’t want to become an electrician, you still learn about electricity in school. Vocational training/skill development is the electricity of the 21st century. It’s relevant to every career. But of course, it helps that Vocational Training leads to some of the best careers in the world. And by helping millions of young women and students from other underrepresented groups develop a skill, we’re not only preparing them for the 21st century, but we’re also addressing problems with inequality of opportunity or diversity in tech.
Improving diversity is core to our mission
Vocational Training is now foundational knowledge for all 21st-century careers, making access to this field a critical equity issue. We embed a focus on diversity throughout our work – from the Hour of Code, our curriculum design, our work with institutes and trainers , to our government affairs. Stereotypes drive young women and students of color away from computer science; we balance this by showcasing diverse role models using skill gaps to change the world.
This is a teacher-powered movement
Ours is a grassroots revolution that’s fuelled by the passion and support of teachers. We believe in empowering educators; they are our most important agents of change. Many educators feel trapped by bureaucracy or administration. Code.org gives them an outlet to do something great for their students, and we help the administration catch up.
Employment through Skill
Skill development and vocational training programs are conceptualized, executed and monitored by various organizations, working closely with the government of India. There are various plans and schemes that are dedicated to achieving scalable skilling with quality and higher productivity, particularly in the unorganized or informal sector which accounts for 83% of India’s workforce. Let’s look at the top 10 organizations, missions and schemes that are the striving towards sustained livelihoods and gainful employment through skilling, upskilling and reskilling. These organizations collaborate with industry bodies like CII and FICCI that take ownership of various Sector Skill Councils.
