Breaking Into Tech: Internship as a Pathway

Breaking into tech can feel difficult when you don't have a computer science degree, a coding background, industry connections, or previous experience.

But there is more than one way in.

Breaking Into Tech: Internship as a Pathway is a high-impact career resource and launch event created to help students, recent graduates, career changers, and early-career professionals understand how internships can become a practical pathway into lasting careers in technology.

The book brings together the lived experiences of 20 professionals who interned their way into roles at companies including Asana, Flutterwave, Moniepoint, Interswitch, Piggyvest, TechCabal, Risevest, United Capital, LoftyInc, Bumpa, Paystack and Antler.

These are not theories. They are real journeys from internship to careers as founders, CEOs, senior leaders and technology professionals.

At the launch, you'll hear directly from the author and contributors, discover lessons from their journeys, and have the opportunity to ask your own questions about breaking into the technology industry.
