Unlike coding “boot camps” and most other forms of information technology training, Revature does not charge its students tuition, instead paying them a salary during their training and project work.[2]

History

Revature was founded in 2003[5] (under the name Multivision)[3] as a traditional staffing agency, but experienced difficulty finding prospective employees with the technology skills employers sought.[6] Around 2014, it became a talent development company with the aim of supplying those unmet needs.[6]

In its current form, the company’s clients have included Accenture plc,[7] Capital One,[6] the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA),[7] and REI Systems, Inc. According to the company, it has trained more than 7,000 software engineers[8] and is, according to Bloomberg, the largest employer of emerging technology talent in the U.S.[9]

In April 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Revature announced that it would “donate approximately 2,000 hours of instructor-led, virtual coding training to essential workers, their families and others who have been impacted by COVID-19.”[10]

Other initiatives

In September 2020, Revature announced the launch of a suite of new workforce reskilling services designed for companies seeking to retrain their existing employees.[11]

Since 2020, the company has partnered with the Thurgood Marshall College Fund to offer scholarships to undergraduates at historically black colleges and universities that are members of the Fund.[12]
