This Is Tech Done Right.
HOUSED AT CAU + POWERED BY DELL, A COMMUNITY FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF PROMISING CLARK ATLANTA, MOREHOUSE, & SPELMAN STUDENTS INTERESTED IN TECH.
Relationships are the catalysts of our lives, yet where we grow up, the institutions we attend and the cities we choose as professionals act as future determinants of success in tech – particularly for traditionally under-estimated communities and sectors.
We recognize college is a critical juncture. Intentionally Good @Clark Atlanta University powered by Dell program focuses on the life stage directly preceding professional careers. It is a 60 day program where Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College, and Spelman College students develop relationships with startup founders + Dell employees and receive advice on how to break into tech. Students will get put in a better position to receive tech internships by getting a 30,00 view of the fundamental skills needed for careers in software development, UI/UX design, product management, and digital marketing.
We’re closing racial equity gap in the technology sector and leveling the playing field for top Clark Atlanta, Morehouse, and Spelman students by deconstructing historic and systemic barriers to success and putting people + relationships at the center of tech with an amazing partner in Dell. Relationships matter. This is how tech should be done. Join us.
