Increasing diversity in tech has always been a priority for Flatiron School, and in our first year in the UK, we’re committed to awarding £1 million in scholarships to underrepresented groups in tech — including women and people from disadvantaged backgrounds. Flatiron School has also partnered with AllBright, codebar, and Women Who Code, to support this mission. We, along with Allbright, are also holding a launch event on April 19 to inspire and inform London’s next generation of women in tech.“With the acquisition of Flatiron School and the launch of our UK campus, WeWork has found a partner who shares our vision of revolutionising the way things are done – with work and with education – to help people to do what they love,” said Eugen Miropolski, WeWork’s Managing Director for Europe, Israel and the Pacific. Our American campuses have seen a 97% placement rate overall for job-seeking graduates, and we have every reason to expect we’ll replicate that success in London.London is Flatiron School’s fourth physical campus — Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Washington, D.C. are its first three — and first outside the United States. As Flatiron School continues to grow, look out for more locations both in the US, and beyond.
