Open Source Mentorship Series: Different Careers in Tech

Hi Coders!

This workshop is part of Program Equity’s summer series. ProgramEquity provides a space for those transitioning into tech to connect with mentors who will support them as they build their portfolio. If you actively contribute to open source, civic tech, or are passionate about closing the gap between tech and social justice - come learn how we are working with national civic rights groups to create accessibility for marginalized voices.

• What did you first think tech was?
• How did you learn about your current role?
• How were you able to transfer your skills?
• What do you appreciate about your current role?

Each session will cover a technical or career related topic. Come join us as industry experts from GitHub, Tidelift, PlanetScale, and NEAR foundation talk about everything from breaking down the PR flows, web3 to writing a resume that gets attention. Can’t make this one? Here’s a preview of the workshops we are hosting this summer
