We are Makers
The Evolution
Makers is the brainchild of software engineer, coach and writer Evgeny Shadchnev (founder and board member) and former McKinsey partner and government adviser Claudia Harris (CEO).
It is a training and talent platform that helps individuals and organisations navigate the big shifts in technology.
Makers started as Europe’s first software engineering bootcamp. It is now trusted by the largest and most innovative organisations in the country with their tech and AI talent.
our mission
Most organisations treat technological shifts as technical hurdles; we treat them as human ones. At our core is a unique approach to building Learning Quotient (LQ) - the fundamental ability to learn, unlearn, and relearn as fast as the next wave of technology lands.
For over a decade, we have mastered the art of the transformational learning journey. We’ve helped thousands of people retrain to become leading engineers at companies from Deloitte to Google, proving that with the right mindset and support, we can all navigate the big tech shifts. Today, we apply that proven blueprint to the AI transition - equipping individuals to flourish and companies to build the capability and culture that wins.
Our coaches come from the teams you’re trying to build. They know what "good" looks like. They provide the practical perspective and use cases that traditional training often lacks.
We are for SMT-fearless leaders, AI engineers, and an AI-fluent broader team. Makers offers a tailored training proposition designed specifically for each part of your organisation.
Our AI Organisation of the Future sets out our vision for how each of these functions need to evolve. The results are more than the sum of the parts.
Experience a wholesale change in capability and culture.
Technical skills have a half-life. We focus on Learning Quotient (LQ) - building the mental toughness and self-led habits required to master new technology the moment it lands.
Purpose driven
We are a certified B Corp with a score of 104. For us, being a "business for good" means building a representative tech industry where talent is recognized by potential, not credentials.
innovation through inclusivity
We relentlessly open doors. As a B Corp, we believe a representative future is built by recognizing potential over credentials. We help organisations reskill their teams and integrate brilliant career-switchers whose curiosity, grit, and adaptability make them high performers in any function.
By building democratic routes into the digital economy, we ensure that the next wave of technology is shaped by a diversity of perspectives. With over 5,000 alumni now leading at companies like Monzo, Google, and Deloitte, our community proves that an inclusive approach to talent is the ultimate competitive advantage in the AI age.
