Starting a new career in tech can feel like a leap—especially if you’re balancing bills, family responsibilities, or a job search that’s gone nowhere fast.  

Maybe you’re worried about money while you’re training. 

Maybe it’s been a while since you were last in a classroom. 

Maybe you’ve applied for dozens (or hundreds) of jobs and heard nothing but crickets. 

At ActivateWork, we’re more than a bootcamp provider. We pair tuition-free technical training with employer-informed learning, career coaching, and holistic support—so you’re not just learning tech skills—You’re building the confidence, momentum, and support system that set you up for success in your first role and beyond.  

Here’s what that really looks like. 

Financial Support So You Can Focus on Learning 

We know that bills don’t pause just because you’re in school. That’s why ActivateWork offers wraparound financial supports to help remove stress while you train. 

• 0% interest living‑expense loans to help cover essentials like rent, utilities, transportation, or childcare—with the option to defer repayment until you land your first tech role 

• Financial coaching and literacy support so you can navigate the complexities of benefits packages and build healthy money habits for the long term 

• SNAP recipients may qualify for extra support through the Colorado Employment First Program, including help with essentials like transportation, childcare, and other training-related needs 

• Referrals to additional supportive services if you’re facing barriers outside the classroom 

Our goal is simple: make it possible for you to show up, stay focused, and finish strong. 

Access to the Tools You Need 

Not everyone has the latest laptop or access to a quiet workspace—and that shouldn’t stop you from building a career. 

• Loaner laptops are available to learners who need them, from day one of training through job attainment  

• Hybrid learning options combine remote technical training with in‑person professional development and community building 

• Access to quiet workspaces and free Wi-Fi at our office, should you need it 

If technology or access has ever held you back, we work with you to solve it.
