Our Participants
Is your company hiring engineers? Do you care about your social footprint and diversity? We are seeking sponsors for our full-time program participants, who make it through a rigorous, lengthy application process that includes multiple workshops, interviews, and a code challenge. By the time each cohort graduates and is ready for placement on your team, they will have done more than 1,000 hours of collaborative, project-based learning developed by industry professionals. To secure one of our graduates for your team, please check out more details here and get in touch!
Why
The tech industry in the Bay Area is causing displacement and increasing income disparity. The industry also needs to build more diverse technical teams.
We asked, "What if we could help tech companies build much-needed diverse technical teams by having them sponsor training for and hire underrepresented, underprivileged locals who need jobs the most?"
How it Works
Vetting
Techtonica conducts free intro workshops with local organizations and labs.
We invite the most resilient, independent, committed, positive, collaborative, curious, calm participants to apply to our full-time program.
Sponsor Companies
Companies that have sponsored at the Advocate Level cover the full-time program participants' pre-placement training and provide mentors.
They have a say in the curriculum and receive inclusion training in preparation for employing their top-rated interviewees at the end of the program.
Full-Time Program
As needed, accepted participants receive living stipends, laptops, and more than 1,000 hours of full-time, project-based, collaborative training.
We place a limited number of graduates with partner companies.
