Alchemy Code Lab

Alchemy Code Lab is a developer training academy and tech consultancy dedicated to guiding Portland's future tech innovators along rewarding career paths. A true alternative to the cookie-cutter virtual code school chains dotting the tech training landscape, our uniquely intensive career track-focused JavaScript program, our intimate 6-to-1 student-to-instructor ratio, and an in-person, structured setting propels Alchemy Code Lab grads far beyond dead-end internships or low-level junior development positions. Through integrated expert guidance, our grads are ready on day one to contribute as productive developer team members. With decades of real-life tech experience, our instructors teach students how to think like developers. Our emphasis on process, regular testing, and immersive lab sessions train Alchemy students to not only get their code to work, but to learn to articulate how and why it does what it does. These are the foundational elements instilled in Alchemy Code Lab graduates which launch them toward average starting salaries of $75,000, an average 80% job placement rate -- and most important -- elevated and fulfilling careers. A Portland-only school, we believe in the power of coding and software development to advance our economy and our community. At Alchemy Code Lab, mentorship means daily, strategic career assistance for each individual student through empathetic interaction with experienced instructors and staff. We get Portland.
