Building more inclusive tech ecosystems from the university to the workplace.

Our industry and academic partners collaborate with us to deliver programs and real-world industry experience that propel undergraduate students from different lived experiences into degrees and careers in tech. Together, we are creating a future where the people who create our technology reflect the diversity of the human experience, and where the technology we create, together, helps to shape a better world for us all.
