TechStart Information

Welcome to TECHSTART - taking the first step together. It's no secret that the first rung of the tech job ladder is often a daunting one. Despite the existence of numerous well-intentioned support programs, many young people still face a significant barrier: the job itself. Finding it, and once found, keeping it. TechStart exists to remove that barrier. Techstart, a not-for-profit with a social mission has the heart of a charity and the mindset of a business. We’re committed to working hand in hand with our participants, guiding them through their employment journey in the tech world and ensuring that they have the tools and support they need to succeed.
