About us

We believe anyone
can build a career they love

German version

Our mission: We want to make career changes universally possible and accessible to all.

We believe that all people are equally talented - regardless of their origin, identity, personal background or experience. But not everyone is offered the same opportunities. That's exactly what we want to change. We want to shape a world in which everyone can pursue exactly the career they dream of. That's exactly why people and our students are at the center of everything we do: We come to work every day with the goal of opening up the possibility of a successful career change to more people today compared to yesterday. Our values are the foundation of everything we do. Following are our guiding principles every day - whether designing the CareerFoundry learning experience or training the next generation of tech experts:

  • Approach with empathy
  • Stay inquisitive and curious
  • Recognize great performance
  • Inspiration for the industry
  • Help others realize their potential

We at CF make this happen for anyone - meaning globally, regardless of situation. How do we do it? Through accessible and effective education. Let’s innovate and inspire the industry.

Finally, this is also a story about us. We want to work on our own terms just as much as anybody. It is up to us to define the culture where we can live our mission while strengthening collaboration rather than weakening it.

We believe that when people are free to work on their own terms, magic will happen, and they will do the work of their lives.

We're passionate about continuously improving. In order to track our growth, we've introduced a management system that acts as a framework to measure performance.

We aim to widen access to exciting new careers by offering the job orientation and professional development training required for a successful career in tech, especially for unemployed individuals in Germany who are eligible for fully-funded sponsorships with the Agentur für Arbeit (AfA). Our graduates go on to lead careers they love, backed by 360-degree support from CareerFoundry in collaboration with the Agentur für Arbeit—ensuring successful job integration into the local labor market.

Our values

Our values are the foundation of everything we do. They guide us in our daily work—whether we’re designing the CareerFoundry learning experience, or helping to shape the next generation of tech professionals.

Inspire the industry.

We strive to create positive change in the world and to set an example for how human-centric online education can be.

Unlock potential in others.

We know that everyone has the potential to build a career they love, and we go above and beyond to empower each other to grow into that
