Makers

Makers is a UK-based training and talent platform that specializes in helping individuals and organizations adapt to changes in technology.

Founded in 2013 by Evgeny Shadchnev and Claudia Harris, Makers evolved from Europe’s first software engineering bootcamp into a trusted provider of tech and AI talent for leading organizations in the UK. The company is a B Corp-certified business with over 5,000 alumni and a mission to equip the UK workforce with the skills needed to thrive in a global AI economy. Makers offers vocational training courses and apprenticeship programs in software development, DevOps, cloud engineering, and data engineering. Their unique approach includes front-loaded apprenticeships delivered in a 16-week bootcamp format, which has successfully trained and placed over 3,000 career changers in tech roles across more than 300 organizations. Makers serves both individuals looking to enter tech roles and large companies seeking to develop in-house tech and AI talent.
