Makers: The Leading Career Switch Programme Since 2013
At Makers, we've been building the future for 10 years.
We are a disruptive technical education and talent organisation with a mission to change the face of the tech industry.
We've always seen technology as a pathway to that future, for both people and organisations. A pathway to an inclusive, equitable and sustainable future where individuals are judged on their potential not their background.
Community Is At Our Core
We bring individuals together – those embarking on learning journeys, those who collaborate with us, and those we proudly call our colleagues.
Our purpose is to transform lives and organisations by finding, training, and placing exceptional and diverse career switchers into (tech) roles.
A Decade’s Experience of Career Switch Support
Since 2013, we've been helping professionals to switch career and providing companies with top-notch talent.
We've solidified our reputation as experts in our field, the preferred choice, and pioneers in our industry.
Our journey has been exhilarating, and we’re not slowing down any time soon...

A Diverse Community, Shaped by Inclusivity
When stepping into the tech industry, you shouldn't have to worry whether your face fits.
At Makers, we veer from a one-size-fits-all model, instead, adopting a highly personalised approach to our application process. We're far from a one-size-fits-all model.
Diversity is the driving force behind our success, and we enthusiastically invite applications from individuals of all backgrounds.
Our tailored approach is crafted to meet your unique needs. We'll assess your strengths and weaknesses, understand your preferred learning style, and help you refine your interpersonal skills. We look at potential, not background.
Led By Artificial Intelligence
We've embraced the advantages of AI, so you can enjoy the benefits.
We incorporate innovative AI applications within our practice to enhance our internal operations across critical domains like sales and training.
This enables us to offer cutting-edge courses with thorough instruction and access to a rich pool of highly skilled professionals.
