The Marcy Lab School is an alternative pathway to college for low-income youth that provides training and supports for high-growth tech careers in the area of software engineering and data analytics. Marcy Lab’s Software Engineering Fellowship recruits candidates who are 18-24 years old with a high school diploma or equivalent and no prior technical experience is required. Since the program launched in 2019, Marcy has served 214 students, now earning an average salary of $93,000, increasing their income potential by nearly $60,000 in just one year. Once employed, Fellows continue to receive career coaching and mentorship for the first two years of their career, which is a key component and differentiator of the program.
