SKILLED ENGINEERS, READY WHEN YOU ARE

Transforming your workforce

The Makers Accelerator programme is designed to help you find and hire exceptional, high performance engineers, with the ambition and resilience to progress quickly to mid-level roles.

Productive from day one

Engineers complete 2-week pre-skilling programme tailored to your tech stack and skill requirements, matched to your internal progression framework.

Ambitious career switchers

With an average age of 28 our engineers have rich professional experience in industries ranging from finance to healthcare. As a result they progress fast, often twice as fast as their graduate peers.

Innovation through inclusivity

We believe the best ideas come from diverse perspectives. Our engineers come from diverse backgrounds that not only reflect the world we live in but also drive innovation by welcoming and empowering underrepresented voices.
