Program to Offer Free Coding Classes to 25 Residents of Louisville's Poorest Neighborhood

Twenty-five people from Louisville's poorest neighborhoods can take a coding class for free as part of the Louisville Skills program.  The program is a partnership between Interapt, The University of Louisville, the Louisville Urban League (Louisville, KY) and The Humana Foundation.

Anyone can apply.

It's designed to put people from Louisville's poorest zip codes in high-paying jobs.  Louisville Skills runs for 40 hours a week for 3-4 months at the Hite Art Institute in west Louisville.  Students will also get a $100-a-week stipend, and they could land an apprenticeship when classes are done.

Applications are due Aug. 9.
