About

AnnieCannons' mission is to train, prepare, and connect human trafficking survivors of sustainable careers in tech. Through a trauma-informed coding and workforce development program, AnnieCannons trains survivors to become professional software developers and AI engineers and places them in paid apprenticeships with partner companies through a model that converts at over 80%, with median starting salaries of $75,000 or more. The program is tailored for people who have faced compounded barriers including poverty, housing insecurity, interrupted education, and trauma across multiple systems.
