Tech Returners

Tech Returners is a Manchester-based organization founded in 2017 that focuses on training and placing mid-to-senior level technology professionals returning to the workforce after a career break. The company aims to address the underrepresentation of women in tech and the digital skills shortage by empowering skilled individuals to re-enter technology careers.

Tech Returners offers a range of programs, including remote training for senior professionals, an intensive 8-week full stack development course, and opportunities to refresh technical skills. Their client placement model connects returners with real-world projects, providing hands-on experience and mentorship. The organization also supports businesses by offering a model where companies can engage returners for project-based work, promoting diversity and inclusion within their teams.

Acquired by Northcoders Group PLC in February 2023, Tech Returners operates as a subsidiary and continues to foster a learning community for returners, helping them build networks and regain confidence in their careers.
