Today, Google Canada announced that applications are open for the 2023 Code Next Connect program. Code Next is a virtual computer science training program for high school students in the United States and Canada, giving them the tools they need to succeed in tech roles. 2023 is the first year the program is open to Canadian students.
Since 2018, Google Canada has been working with school boards, educators and students from across Canada to deliver computer science (CS) programming in the classroom. Its mission is to educate and engage students, particularly marginalized students and those with barriers to access in computer science, as a catalyst to empower the future of learning and work.
In just under five years, Google Canada has reached hundreds of thousands of Canadian students with its CS programming, and this year it’s expanding its offerings to reach even more students with the launch of Code Next Connect. The virtual computer science education program helps Black, Indigenous, Latinx and women-identifying high school students develop skills and tech social capital needed to pursue high-achieving careers in tech.
Code Next Connect is best suited for students in grades 9 and 10, and focuses on building critical skills in computational thinking, engineering and leadership. Students also receive mentorship opportunities from Google engineers, and deep-dives in career opportunities.
You can find more information about Code Next Connect here, and interested applicants can apply here until August 5. The program launches in October 2023 and runs until June 2024.
