Well, don’t start fearing the machines and mourning your career just yet. The truth is the future of work is happening right now, and there is a growing effort from alternative educational institutions, like Flatiron School, to meet the evolving needs of education.
The heart of our mission is to empower passionate people to learn skills like coding, data science, UX/UI design, and cybersecurity and successfully launch careers at the forefront of technology.
