Our Participants

Our program participants are the best of the best! They make it through our rigorous application process and program that includes many workshops, interviews, code challenges, pairing sessions, projects, and more. Most partner companies that hire our graduates would like to employ them forever!

Street, sidewalks, and building in the Tenderloin neighborhood of San Francisco.

Why

Techtonica started in the San Francisco Bay Area, where the tech industry, which needs to build more diverse technical teams, is causing displacement and increasing income disparity.

We asked, "What if we could help people most in danger of displacement to become economically empowered by asking tech companies that recognize the need for more diverse technical teams to sponsor and hire them?"

How it Works

Vetting

Techtonica conducts free intro workshops.

We invite the most interested, resilient, independent, curious, open-minded, communicative, collaborative, confident, respectful attendees to apply to our program.

Partner Companies

Companies sponsor the program participants' pre-placement training and provide mentors.

They have a say in the curriculum and prepare to employ their top-rated interviewees at the end of the program.

Program

As needed, accepted participants receive living stipends and laptops, and do hundreds of hours of full-stack, project-based, collaborative learning.

We place as many graduates as possible with sponsor companies.

“The {participants} are so impressive—any one of them would be a great asset. The Bay Area often brags of innovation but it’s Techtonica that delivers.” -Michelle Krejci, Service Engineer Tech Lead at Pantheon
