Major thanks to the TechFluent 2024 Tech Fundamental volunteer trainers! TechFluent is thankful to our new and repeat trainers in part 1 of the program!   This past spring and summer, 21 industry professionals volunteered as trainers for part 1 of the 2024 TechFluent Program. Trainers dedicated countless hours developing material and training learners on technical concepts, essential soft skills and mentoring. This team of trainers worked together diligently to ensure part one of the cohort was a success, training an upwards of 100+ learners at a time!   We thank you for extending the olive branch to TechFluent but more importantly the learners. Trainers have demonstrated selflessness, patience and compassion! We believe every single trainer left a positive mark on the minds of the learners that have chosen to continue their tech journey this fall.
