It gives students the opportunity to try their hand at software programming without a full-time or financial commitment. “Coding jobs are in everything from data and software engineering to web and video game development,” said Fraboni. “These jobs can provide significant lifetime earnings, don’t require a college degree, and starting salaries average $67K.” The workshop meets virtually for three consecutive weeks, Monday through Thursday for three hours each day.
