Mission We founded Kenzie Academy to tackle a major opportunities gap in America. Fast-growing technology companies concentrated in expensive coastal cities were struggling to hire tech talent. Meanwhile, a large population of aspiring individuals across the country could help fuel these talent needs. Our mission is train a new pool of talent in the American Heartland with the necessary technical and workplace skills, mindset, and confidence to launch a rewarding career in technology. We believe that a population of highly skilled tech workers will attract more companies to expand operations in their communities, in turn leading to more high-paying jobs.
