LaunchCode is a non-profit organization based in St. Louis, Missouri, that works with hundreds of companies to set up paid apprenticeships in technology for talented people who lack the traditional credentials to land a good job.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=LaunchCode Flooded With Applications From Aspiring Tech Talent « CBS St. Louis )〕 Co-founded in 2013 by Square, Inc. co-founder Jim McKelvey, Brendan Lind,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.launchcode.org/about )〕 Chris Oliver, Dan Lohman, and Chris Sommers, LaunchCode was named by the ''St. Louis Riverfront Times'' as 2014's "The Best Thing to Happen to St. Louis".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.riverfronttimes.com/bestof/2014/award/best-thing-to-happen-to-st-louis-2448715/ )〕 In December 2014, LaunchCode opened an office in Miami, Florida, to serve southeast Florida.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.miamiherald.com/news/business/article4541701.html )〕 == Creation == McKelvey and Lind say LaunchCode was an attempt to remedy a problem they saw in St. Louis: :“Every year the IT talent shortage worsens. This is partially due to increasing demand for coders, but it is also due to problems with traditional educational and hiring systems.... Unfortunately, many human resource departments won’t even interview people without a college degree and several years of experience.” Jim McKelvey and Brendan Lind, edX.org:〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=LaunchCode and edX Team Up to Train Aspiring Coders | edX )〕 LaunchCode’s practice is founded upon finding intelligent, hardworking people who need jobs and giving them skills and opportunities to get them. Candidates do not necessarily need to have a background in computer science.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Launch Code: How 42 "Unqualified" People Landed Dream Tech Jobs in St. Louis )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「LaunchCode」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
