The Evolution

From Europe’s first software engineering bootcamp to the AI transition

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

Helping people navigate the big shifts in technology

Technology moves in seismic shifts; AI is perhaps the most profound yet. Our mission is to ensure that the human keeps pace.

For over a decade, Makers has mastered the art of the transformational learning journey. We’ve helped thousands of people who never coded retrain to become leading engineers at companies from Deloitte to Google. We know that with the right mindset and support we can all navigate the big tech shifts and reset our futures.

Today, we apply that proven blueprint to the AI transition. We empower individuals to flourish and companies to build the capability and culture that wins.

Tested since 2012, trusted by the best, we are Makers.

Engineering human impact

From industry, for industry

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.

AI upskilling for everyone

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.

Learning Quotient at our heart

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.

innovation through inclusivity

Community and 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.
