Can HackYourFuture Succeed in Aarhus?

HackYourFuture supports refugees, asylum seekers and marginalised groups with limited access to the Danish labour market in acquiring the necessary skills to become web-developers and entering a very in-demand job market. Our goal is not only to educate our students, but also to guide them towards employment and integrate them into the developer community.
