About TechUp

TechUp is an online coding school that runs bootcamps (i.e. short-term intensive coding courses) for individuals who want to start a career as a software developer or software engineer. By broadening access to tech careers and high-quality jobs, we strengthen social and economic mobility in Thailand while also accelerating the country’s digital transformation. Our online bootcamps target people with no prior programming experience; take them through 4 months of full-time, intensive training in tech skills, soft skills, career skills, and English skills; and connect them with job opportunities at our employer partners. To minimize financial barriers, we offer our students the option of paying tuition fees only after they have successfully secured a job. We recently graduated the second cohort of our bootcamp with 30 students (2X the size of our first cohort), and plan to grow significantly over 2023-2024 given strong demand from both prospective students and employers. We also plan to build a coding learning platform to serve the broader market outside of our bootcamps.
