What if the talent you're looking for is being overlooked by traditional hiring?

The Dutch tech sector doesn't have a talent shortage.
It has a talent discovery problem.

Too often, hiring decisions are still shaped by degrees, credentials, and conventional career paths. As a result, capable people are overlooked while companies continue to struggle filling technical roles.

At Talent Day, you'll meet Codam students who prove that talent can come from anywhere.
People who have become software engineers through grit, curiosity, resilience, and a demonstrated ability to learn.

Codam is a peer-to-peer coding college where students learn by building, collaborating, solving complex challenges, and continuously teaching one another. The result is more than technical competence. Our students develop autonomy, adaptability, problem-solving skills, and the ability to quickly master new technologies.

These are the qualities that matter most in an industry being reshaped by AI.

The results speak for themselves: 97% of Codam graduates find employment within six months, and more than 190 companies have already hired Codam talent.

During Talent Day, you'll meet students through curated matchmaking sessions and informal networking opportunities.

Graduation Day may be over, but moments like these remind us that the Codam journey was never only about learning how to code.

In this clip, Alex reflects on one of the most challenging parts of studying at Codam: learning without traditional teachers or lectures. There is no step-by-step roadmap. Students are challenged to figure things out themselves, deal with uncertainty, ask questions, collaborate, make mistakes, and keep pushing forward.

That process can be frustrating at times. But for many students, it also becomes the moment where everything changes.

Because somewhere along the way, they stop waiting for answers and start trusting themselves to find them.
And that might be one of the most valuable lessons they take with them long after graduation.

You do not need a computer science degree or years of coding experience to start building a future in tech. Many Codam students started exactly where you might be now: uncertain about their future, considering a career switch or looking for a different kind of education.
