\"\"27-01-2025 | Amsterdam’s privately funded Codam Coding College is pursuing ambitious expansion plans after six successful years of training programmers and software developers. The institute, which has produced hundreds of well-trained IT professionals to fill critical job vacancies, now aims to establish campuses across the Netherlands.\u00a0<\/p>

The expansion is backed by Corinne Vigreux, TomTom co-founder and chief marketing officer, who has personally donated \u20ac20 million to the charitable foundation since 2018. The school distinguishes itself through its innovative “peer-to-peer” learning method, where students learn from each other through projects without traditional teachers. With the Netherlands facing an estimated 55,000 IT job vacancies\u2014the highest percentage in Europe\u2014Codam’s model addresses a critical skills shortage while promoting equal opportunities for youth from disadvantaged backgrounds.<\/p>

To support the expansion, Codam has secured a substantial donation from the IMC Foundation, linked to Amsterdam-based trading firm IMC. However, founder Vigreux plans to reduce her annual contribution to under \u20ac2 million from 2026 onwards, making new partnerships essential. The institute currently trains 500 students with strict admission standards\u2014only 30% of applicants secure a place after a four-week selection process.\u00a0are highly sought after, with three-quarters finding employment during their internships and starting salaries exceeding \u20ac4,000 per month.<\/p>
