Mission Statement
We connect talented people in low-income communities to high paying jobs in tech through education, mentorship, and career services.
About This Cause
Talent is universal, opportunity is not. Technology helps us bridge the gap. By helping high potential, low-income youth build a career in IT, we can serve the needs of the market while breaking cycles of generational poverty. Plataforma Impact bridges the gap between those hungry for opportunity and a market hungry for talent. We do this by providing technical training (programming), social support (psychological support, scholarship opportunities), professional mentorship, and job placement. After a strict admissions process, students enter the program as part of a team, led by a facilitador (advanced students referred to as Jedis). Teams progress through a technical curriculum together, working on real projects as a group. In this way, students develop not only the technical skills, but also the soft skills they will need to take to market. We also offer biweekly seminars with market professionals, and pair our Jedis with individual mentors. Our goal is to develop great people first, and create solutions in which every wins.
