About Pursuit

Pursuit is a transformative social impact organization dedicated to creating positive change in the lives, families, and communities it serves. Through their intensive long-term program, Pursuit trains adults with the greatest need and potential, equipping them with the skills necessary to secure their first tech jobs, advance in their careers, and become leaders in the tech industry. Pursuit graduates are highly sought after by top companies like Pinterest, Kickstarter, LinkedIn, BlackRock, and JPMorgan Chase, significantly increasing their annual salaries from $18,000 to over $85,000. By offering opportunities that address income inequality and bridge the economic divide, Pursuit is committed to empowering its Fellows to bring change not just to their own lives, but also to their families, neighborhoods, and the broader tech industry. With a strong emphasis on core values and a collaborative 'One Big Team' approach, Pursuit is making a lasting impact on its community and redefining individual potential. Through programs like Pursuit LevelUp, the organization partners with tech companies to retrain blue-collar workers, enabling them to transition into software engineering roles.
