How Our Partnerships Work

Our financial model is unique! We are a self-sustaining non-profit which means our operating costs are covered by the revenue we earn from training our students. As a result, the success of our students and our corporate partners is our bread and butter. We are designed to ensure our community succeeds!

The total cost of our training is $18,000 per student. The student pays up to $6,000 upfront and our corporate partner pays the remaining tuition balance of up to $9,000 upon hiring our student. Graduates do not owe the remainder of their tuition unless and until they land a job using the skills for which they received training.

The Zip Code Wilmington training program is purpose driven and incentivized in all the right ways. Our goal is to only accept as many students as we can place. We provide industry-approved, cutting-edge training and place our graduates with employers who need a steady supply of high-quality tech talent.

Ways to Engage with Us

We introduce companies to our highly-trained, highly-qualified and diverse graduates–helping our corporate partners to remain competitive within the technology sector. We have different engagement levels so you will be sure to find something that matches your needs and capacity.
