Tech Connect

Natalie:

I would not be a software engineer today if it wasn't for Tech Connect.

Carolyn:

Tech Connect was designed for those who don't have a background in coding and to bring in those who are both traditionally diverse but also cognitively diverse.

Shayna:

When I came here, I was getting people from many different mindsets: finance, math, history, world language. That really opened my mind to seeing how diverse groups can work even better together than just people all from the same background.

Jennifer:

We started as a small-but-mighty program five years ago and we've now grown globally, and we’ve trained hundreds of software engineers that have now joined Global Technology at JPMorgan Chase.

Christen:

The best way to learn how to code is to actually code. Our instructors will start the day with lecture and demonstrations. Then the participants will spend the majority of their time applying the things that they’ve learned through labs, group projects, individual projects and some assessments as well.

Milam:

Being able to code should be more accessible to people. Having a program like this is doing that.

Shayna:

You're not just coding a simple application for a school assignment. You’re seeing how it can really impact everyday life of people.

Lori:

Tech Connect is an important program for the firm because it helps us build a pipeline of strong technology talent, which is key to our future.

Rozie:

Tech Connect is not just about the coding skills and those core technical skills. It’s also about the leadership skills and knowing how to develop in your career.

Christen:

We are empowering people to take charge of their careers in ways that they never thought possible.

Ryan:

Tech Connect put me on a path and really gave me a solid foundation to build off of.

Shayna:

This program truly is one of a kind. I can confidently say I'm a better programmer, a better employee, and a better technologist because I went through Tech Connect.

Hear from our people

Victoria
“

I joined Tech Connect as a recent Industrial Engineering graduate student, and now, I’m a software engineer and Team Lead—managing a 9-person team based in Argentina and the US. I support the backend of our application, working to simplify actions and centralize processes for application owners and managers.

Tech Connect is not only a coding program, but a diverse community that supports and empowers you at any stage of your career, regardless of your background. My team welcomed me and has provided opportunities to continue learning and growing. Last year, I moved from Buenos Aires to New York City to keep building my skills.
