Our Programs
We offer a variety of programs to help you develop your skills and connect with a community of like-minded peers.
Skills Courses
Learn modern, in-demand skills through hands-on projects in just 10 weeks. Our courses are perfect for any skill level and include software development, data science, UX design, digital marketing, and more. Applications are now open.
Launch Internship Program
Master software engineering, digital marketing, or data science, this summer. Then go rock a high-impact, exciting internship that we'll find for you. Best of all, the average Launch student walks away with $3,250 at the end of the summer after taxes & tuition.
Impact Program
We strongly believe that what we teach and learn at Forge can and must be used as a force for good. In our Impact program, our students put their skills to work in fast-paced short projects and initiatives. Impact is a common next step for students who complete Launch or our skills courses.
Impact works with nonprofits and community organizations to complete data analysis and visualization projects, conduct UX research and provide recommendations, create new marketing campaigns, and more.

Forge Leadership
We hire members for key volunteer and part-time staff roles where you can make a big impact and accelerate your skills. Leadership at Forge looks different than most places: all roles are a hybrid of leading and learning new skills.
Many new members pursue leadership opportunities at Forge after their first program. It's a great chance to give back and continue to learn and grow. Plus, we offer a lot of perks to people who join our team.
