We are individuals who have "been there" as former students and new grads trying to navigate non-technical careers in the tech industry.

We are NOT recruiters, nor are we associated with any recruiting team. We are passionate about volunteering our time to support students and young professionals during the pandemic who are looking to better understand, prepare for, and explore potential careers in tech.

Interested college students from underrepresented backgrounds (BIPOC, first-generation college student, female, low-socioeconomic status, active military/veterans, LGBTQ) or unemployed recent grads are encouraged to apply for the program. Selected applicants are then paired up with tech industry professionals who are willing to discuss their day-to-day, give career advice, or help with recruiting preparations scheduled over two virtual coffee chats.

Non-technical roles in tech are typically jobs that are not performed by software or hardware engineers/developers. Product Managers, Marketers, Project Managers, or Sales Representative are some roles that are considered "non-technical" in the tech industry. See more examples here.
