Tech Skills Cohort
The BOT Tech Cohort Project is an accelerated applied training program that allows participants to gain introductory to advanced level skills and certification within a particular area in technology. These technology areas were identified and vetted through our extensive research conducted with local tech companies and recruiters to see what tech skills were being highly sought after. The program’s mission is to empower participants with emerging tech skills and certifications which will result in increased employment and entrepreneurial opportunities and therefore socio-economically benefit the local underrepresented and minority communities. Cohort sessions are facilitated through introductory-level knowledge, topics, exercises, activities, and projects which lead to more advanced level sets of training activities to create a stronger pipeline to certification and job placement within tech.
