Hear How This Program Has Benefitted Our Partners
From our program alumni:
"By participating in the CCI program, my interests in my career have broadened. I really liked the in-person experience at a product-based company that actively geerates revenue while hardening their product. I saw the hunger within the company. The great thing about my time during my 5-week placement was that I got to talk to individuals from different departments, such as SWE, marketing, and InfoSec. It gave me perspective, especially on SWE and Cybersecurity."
"This experience exposed me to tech careers that I was unaware of. It broadened my perspective and showed me the types of careers that I could go into. I was already interested in going into the data science and tech field and I feel like this internship only strengthened that passion."
