iO Academy is on a mission to help to address the gender imbalance in the tech industry, and give people the training they need for a career they’ll love.

We have tackled this head on in 2020, with a rebrand that speaks to our core values of inclusivity and accessibility. Working with Bristol-based creative agency, Fiasco Design, we’ve changed our name from Mayden Academy to iO Academy, and created a brand that reflects our ambitions of creating a more diverse and inclusive industry.
