Codam

What if the talent you're looking for is being overlooked by traditional hiring?

The Dutch tech sector doesn't have a talent shortage.
It has a talent discovery problem.

Too often, hiring decisions are still shaped by degrees, credentials, and conventional career paths. As a result, capable people are overlooked while companies continue to struggle filling technical roles.

At Talent Day, you'll meet Codam students who prove that talent can come from anywhere.
People who have become software engineers through grit, curiosity, resilience, and a demonstrated ability to learn.

Codam is a peer-to-peer coding college where students learn by building, collaborating, solving complex challenges, and continuously teaching one another. The result is more than technical competence. Our students develop autonomy, adaptability, problem-solving skills, and the ability to quickly master new technologies.

These are the qualities that matter most in an industry being reshaped by AI.

The results speak for themselves: 97% of Codam graduates find employment within six months, and more than 190 companies have already hired Codam talent.

During Talent Day, you'll meet students through curated matchmaking sessions and informal networking opportunities.

THIS IS THE MOMENT: JUNE PISCINE💥🌊

June 1st! Day 1! Beginning of a new journey!

A whole new group of students and now called “Pisciners” just walked in ready to prove themselves. 👀

For 7 days- 4 weeks “Pisciners” will
- push through when it gets uncomfortable
- fail and come back harder
- share their knowledge and learn from each other

It’s the beginning of your journey! Show us your grit. GO GET IT. 🚀✨

LIVE Day 1 of our hackathon with Tracy Innovations is live. 🚀

48 hours. Real data. Real deadlines. Real engineers watching what our students build.

This is one of many AI-focused events we have planned at Codam.

Our students don't just learn to code, they learn to build with AI, the way the industry actually works today.

That's not something extra we add on top. It's how they learn in the curriculum.
And every event like this one is proof of that.

A typical day at Codam doesn't look like learning. Not at first.
No roadmap. No instructor to flag you down when you're going the wrong direction. Just a problem, a screen, and whoever is sitting next to you.

Most of the day is iteration. Something breaks. You ask a peer how they approached it. You try again. Progress is invisible until suddenly it isn't.That's intentional.

Real engineering environments don't hand you defined problems and clean solutions. They hand you ambiguity and expect you to move anyway. Peer-to-peer teaching produces nearly 50% better retention than traditional methods precisely because figuring something out is categorically different from being told the answer.

What looks inefficient from the outside is the whole point.

The habits built in that process: working through uncertainty, communicating under pressure, not waiting to be unblocked. Those don't need to be trained on the job.

They already are.

Our Open Day is coming up, and if you’ve ever wondered whether a future in tech could be for you, this is the moment to explore it. Not through brochures or promises, but by stepping into the community itself.

Meet students who started with zero experience. Discover how peer-to-peer learning works in practice. Experience the energy of a place built around curiosity, growth, and grit.

Codam is not a traditional school. It’s a place where people from completely different backgrounds come together to challenge themselves, learn by building, and unlock opportunities they never thought possible.

Come explore. Get inspired. Your future in tech might start sooner than you think.

Join us on May 23 and experience Codam for yourself. Walk through the campus, meet the community, and discover what happens when talent gets the space to grow.

You do not need a computer science degree or years of coding experience to start building a future in tech. Many Codam students started exactly where you might be now: uncertain about their future, considering a career switch or looking for a different kind of education.

Instead of listening to presentations about Codam, you will experience what daily life on campus actually feels like.

Whether you are a beginner, self-taught learner or simply exploring new possibilities, Shadowing Day is designed to help you understand if this environment and way of learning fits you. Sometimes the best way to discover your future is to experience it first.
