Career mentoring is a huge part of getting internships, opportunities and a job after college. Sadly it is not easy to gain access to high quality mentoring. That's why this program was created by Anthony and David: To prep and make sure everyone is prepared for the real world.

Our history
Born out of Necessity
David Wysoki,a CCNY alumnus, lawyer and asset manager; and Anthony Shalagin, a CS student and budding engineer, wanted to make a difference for the CCNY Engineering Honors community – CCNY Code was thus founded.
The Future
We know we are a stealth school. But we are in Tech Alley’s own backyard! Our home is CCNY 137th Street, in Harlem USA. We have a 170 year history of elevating the ranks of New York’s immigrants and first generation scholars.
