We are gearing up to graduate our Spring 2020 class of technology trainees. We’d like to take this moment to thank the 350 students who powered through the health pandemic and an economic recession to invest in building the skills they will need for the tech jobs of the future. We hope you will join us for an upcoming nation-wide graduation on August 6th. More details are forthcoming.
