🌟 Huge Thank You to Deionna H. from Uber! 🌟 We are so grateful to have had Deionna Hill join us last week for an inspiring fireside chat with our KindWork Fellows! From sharing personal stories about navigating life post-college, to offering invaluable insights into her transition into tech, Deionna truly showcased that careers aren’t always linear—but with the right mindset and hard work, they can be incredibly fulfilling. 🚀 Her advice on career growth, handling the pressures of the tech industry, and succeeding in interviews was exactly the guidance our fellows needed to hear. And her openness about the challenges she faced along the way was a powerful reminder that persistence pays off. Thank you, Deionna, for inspiring the next generation of tech talent and for being such a fantastic role model for our community! 💼✨ #TechCareers #KindWork #Inspiration #FiresideChat #ThankYou #Uber #CareerGrowth #TechIndustry #Mentorship

Thanks Spotify! 💚 Spotify hosted an office tour and industry panel for our recent KindWork graduates. We were able to check out their cool gamer room and arcade, grounding meditation space, and lovely cafe. Most importantly, graduates had the opportunity to hear awesome advice from Spotifiers in different departments, such as data, operations, and talent acquisition. Special shout out to Jeanine Mendez, KindWork co-founder, BWI board member, and Spotify’s Associate Director of Program Management and Operations, for coordinating this valuable opportunity for our eager early career professionals. It was a blast! If you are interested in tech or are in the tech industry and would like to volunteer, please email info@kindwork.org! #workforcedevelopment #careerdevelopment #jobsupport #techtraining #techindustry
