About us
Adjacent is a community of educators, entrepreneurs, and academic leaders who care deeply about access and impact. We want all students to have the competencies, confidence, and networks to thrive in a world increasingly defined by technology.
What sets Adjacent apart from other organizations that provide skills training is our grounding in liberal arts values and a focus on enduring outcomes. Sure, our graduates learn to build with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, but what’s more important to us is they can solve human-scale problems because they understand how to question, critique, design, and build from a range of angles.
We don’t prepare students for a specific job in tech. We prepare students to be able to choose from jobs in tech, to combine their interests and passions with skills in ways they never thought possible. Let’s get rid of the false dichotomy between liberal arts and STEM.
