Happy new year! Instead of creating new year’s resolutions I like to choose a few themes or values that I incorporate into my life and habits throughout the year. This year, those themes are: empowerment, community, and service. These values are not only meaningful to me personally, but they are also at the core of the work that we do at Integrate Detroit (ID).
I invite you to start your new year off with a focus on these values - join us on January, Wednesday 9th for our second cohort’s graduation: https://www.meetup.com/Integral-Detroit/events/257252471/.
As the Detroit and Michigan technology fields grow rapidly, there is a critical need to empower Detroit residents to join this burgeoning industry. ID prepares graduates with the skills and foundation to join any Agile software development team, and works hard to make our education accessible. ID also relies heavily on community involvement - our syllabus welcomes guest lectures from local technologists, and we encourage our students and the larger ID community to support one another in their goals and growth. Above all, we are here to serve those who are typically overlooked - we strive to increase the representation of minorities in tech, and we know that this is possible with accessibility and equity in education.
We hope to see you on January 9th - there will be food, drinks, inspiring speakers, and most importantly, a final project presentation from our graduates. For those interested in applying to our next cohort, please email [email protected]
