How TR4 works

April, May and June 2024

Each month, two companies join forces with Tech Returners with a goal to hire four accomplished software engineers that, with expert support, are ready to return to tech success.

Collaborating closely and incorporating your feedback throughout, our team leverages our six years of expertise to handpick diverse, skilled returners that have the perfect blend of technical fit, passion, and cultural alignment.

Four weeks of tailored support

Each returner receives four weeks of bespoke training around Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, C#, or Cloud Engineering – sharpening their technical skills and boosting career confidence.

Post-training, candidates seamlessly integrate into your tech team, ready to make an impact from day one.

Shape the future

As a partner, you have the opportunity to contribute to an exclusive CSR initiative. We’ll record the impact of this venture, sharing insights and recommendations in a published white paper, featuring your company as a leading voice in fostering inclusive tech talent careers.

Bonus: The TR4 initiative is accessible! Each returner receives a £2,000 bursary over the four weeks, to help with living expenses, childcare, or other financial barriers. To learn more, download our info pack.
