CTD’s first pilot class begins in basement Durham’s American Underground, as a project of the immigrant support organization Uniting NC led by Dan Rearick. There are X # students taught by Ramiro Rodriguez. The idea was to identify new career paths for undocumented and DACAmented young people in the NC Triangle area. Cruz Nuñez, now a senior developer at CTD, is a student in that very first cohort, where he got hooked on Ruby on Rails.
