Hear how employers are building tomorrow’s diverse Massachusetts tech workforce via the Boston PIC’s summer Tech Apprentice youth program.
Boston area employers join us in person at Blue Cross in the Prudential Center for this important discussion on developing the early tech talent pipeline, networking, and a light lunch. Learn how employers successfully use the Tech Apprentice program to meet their critical DEI, early talent pipeline, CSR, and mentoring goals. Meet program alums to learn how their experiences shaped their education and career plans in tech.
