Workforce Development

The free Version Control Basic Proficiency exists to promote collaboration among coders and artists of the Baltimore Metropolis. Learning Version Control will enable you to collaborate effectively with others to develop quality products quickly. We hope that it will lay the groundwork for a high-tech local economy where talented folks can make use of their skills.

Motivation

The USA is still the land of the free. However when it comes to employment in the Baltimore Metropolis, it can feel more like a military dictatorship. Far from representing a free market, the USA looks more akin to Keynesian labor on life-support. Code Collective exists to promote peaceful occupations for our people and the formation of an independent local economy. We do so through community organizing, workforce development, economic branding, and political advocacy.

Community Organizing

Tech Unity was a first-of-its-kind cookout designed to unite the forces of the Baltimore Metropolitan Tech Economy on June 28th, 2025.

Economic Branding

We want the people of Baltimore Metropolis to be seen for what they are: Authentic, Virtuous, Peaceful, and Capable. Masters of logistics, we boast one of the most valuable maritime ports in the world. Our city is a significant contributor to global understanding of health. And we possess a well-organized high-tech workforce capable in the areas of gaming, silicon design, engineering, and – as circumstance may occasion – the tools of modern warfare. We present the following as the flag of the Baltimore Metropolis, representing our peaceful strengths:

Advocacy

Our people are experiencing degraded employment in terms of wages and peaceful end-goals. These issues stem from a deficiency in labor organization, an excess in federal military spending, absurd medical costs for all employers, automation, structural unemployment, and mass offshoring of labor to foreign countries. To address these concerns Code Collective holds the following positions:

  1. Issue Universal Basic Income (UBI) to reduce the curse of surplus labor
  2. End the relationship between employment and medical insurance
  3. Combat corruption in medicine and pharmacology
  4. Reduce the military budget
  5. Declassify large segments of military employment, including silicon design
  6. Restrict federal offshoring and H1B contracting
  7. Restrict private sector H1B contracting
  8. Update K-12 and College curriculums for relevance
  9. Eliminate or degrade federal standardized testing
  10. Establish and support efficient food-distribution centers for all people
