Nashville Software School

Program Overview

Nashville Software School is a Tennessee nonprofit that prepares adults for careers in tech – creating a pipeline of junior tech talent for companies across Middle Tennessee. Since our founding, we have supported the growth of our local tech community by addressing financial barriers that limit access to education. Through our Opportunity Tuition program, we are able to open doors for individuals from underrepresented groups and those who are financially fragile by providing them with a scholarship and deferring most of their tuition until after they secure their first job in tech. Another way we open doors to tech careers is by collaborating with companies to upskill or reskill their employees into tech careers. By bridging the gap between education and employment, we create more effective pathways to tech careers.
