What is Henry?
Henry operates as a computer science online and live school, specifically targeting the burgeoning demand for technical professionals in Latin America. The region faces a dual challenge: a scarcity of skilled tech talent and a limited number of accessible coding schools. Henry's unique zero-cost model democratizes access to high-paying technology jobs, offering individuals life-changing opportunities that can result in salaries approximately three times higher than average. This approach is particularly impactful in a region marked by significant income inequality. Founded to disrupt traditional educational paradigms in LATAM, Henry provides an intensive curriculum designed to equip students for successful careers in the tech industry.
