Join us for an inspiring panel featuring leaders from some of the most impactful STEM workforce development organizations, including programs like Year Up and MSSA (Microsoft Software and Systems Academy). These organizations are transforming lives by equipping individuals with in-demand technical skills, certifications, and real-world experience—preparing them to thrive in technology careers.

In this session, you’ll get an inside look at:

• The diverse talent these programs serve and where they’re making an impact
• The technical skills and certifications participants are gaining
• The types of roles these graduates are ready to step into today
• Simple, meaningful ways YOU can get involved—whether through mentoring, mock interviews, or volunteering your time

This panel is about ACTION. You’ll log off with various ideas on how you could support these communities, as a team and/or as an individual, including ways you can play a direct role in helping individuals successfully transition into tech careers!
