We are celebrating the success of our Pathways to Tech participants!  Amber Price, who was a member of Cohort 7, experienced a layoff as an IT Specialist in 2023. Fast forward to March of 2024: Amber secured a new opportunity as the Development and Operations Manager/Fundraiser at the Birmingham Education Foundation. Amber expressed gratitude for the Pathways to Tech program for helping her along her journey, “I am excited because Pathways gave me a refresher on how to work with coding and achieve a new learning curve by being exposed to Apple products and app development. This opportunity with Birmingham Ed gives me a chance to combine my passion for business with my tech skills and use them in the nonprofit sector.” Let’s celebrate Amber’s inspiring journey! #LearnWithEdFarm #edTech #PathwaystoTech #careerexploration #tech #blacksintech #WeCultivateChange #apple #coding
