ActivateWork is a talent solutions organization that transforms high-potential individuals into highly skilled, valuable team members. Our unique combination of rigorous recruiting, industry-driven training, curated job matches, and professional skills coaching prepares new employees to show up ready to contribute on day one.
At ActivateWork, we create pathways into tech careers for people who haven’t always had access to traditional hiring and education opportunities. Many of the people we serve have faced barriers to opportunity—not because they lack talent, but because they haven’t had access to the right training, resources, or support to unlock career potential and economic mobility.
We believe that when high-potential people have access to quality training, support, and career opportunities, there is no limit to what they can achieve. They don’t just land jobs—they build careers, empowered with the skills and confidence to succeed and thrive over the long term.
ActivateWork’s mission is to transform lives by training, launching, and coaching the next generation of technology stars.
ActivateWork’s vision is to create a vibrant tech talent ecosystem fueling opportunity, growth, and prosperity for the Rocky Mountain region.

ActivateWork’s mission is to transform lives by training, launching, and coaching the next generation of technology stars.
Denver is experiencing a talent crisis. As experienced business professionals, we’ve seen that talent is evenly distributed across society, but opportunity is not. ActivateWork was founded in 2016 to create a vibrant tech talent ecosystem fueling opportunity, growth, and prosperity for the Rocky Mountain region.
Traditional hiring leaves valuable talent out. We believe the solution is to connect employers to homegrown talent from often-overlooked talent pools.
We partner with employers to transform their talent pipeline end-to-end. We custom-match rigorously pre-screened candidates to open roles, prepare candidates with customized training to meet evolving employer needs, and co-design apprenticeships, earn-and-learn pathways, and upskilling tracks to build a resilient, future-ready talent pipeline.
Our track record of thriving, long-term employee placements—with an 87% job retention rate at 12 months—demonstrates our success in guiding high-potential individuals to economic mobility through meaningful careers in high-demand tech fields.
Your support will help change the face of the tech industry, activating opportunities for fulfilling careers and family-sustaining wages.
