VetsinTech February 2023 News

This month in honor of Black History Month we proudly celebrate #BlackExcellence in tech, as we continue to support Black veterans and military spouses in tech and entrepreneurship. Learn about their journeys, challenges, success, and advice on how they landed their roles in the tech industry and entrepreneurship through some of their success stories.  

THIS FRIDAY: March 31, 2023. Join us for the upcoming virtual Invasion 2023 Conference - an annual event that brings together military veterans and military spouses from around the country for a day of panel discussions, workshops, and networking with recruiters and leaders from Silicon Valley's most innovative companies.

VetsinTech will host THE IMPACT at Pebble Beach (Jun 30 - Jul 3) over the patriotic 4th of July holiday. This event will lead into the historical, U.S. Women's Open at Pebble Beach which has never been held at this iconic location. Spread the word and help VetsinTech make with this special women's and DEI-focused event a success.

Together with our sponsors we will increase awareness and create real impact through VetsinTech's mission to:

• Drive Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in the tech sector - 63% of the VIT community identify as minorities and women vets are the fastest growing population of the Military
• Support the 200K vets transitioning out of the military every year - 80% without a job
• Assist our vets and military spouses into higher paying jobs and better quality of life
• Grow our VIT Academy training programs - 90% are upskilled or land new jobs

This event will be an invite-only, sponsored fundraising event to help VetsinTech support critical programs for our veterans and military spouses in Education, Employment, and Entrepreneurship

Calling all veterans interested in learning web development. VetsinTech is excited to offer FULL SCHOLARSHIPS for Front End Web Development training exclusively for past and present military service members, veterans, and spouses of either – sponsored by Boeing ! 

We celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth by highlighting some of our past success stories featuring Veterans of color. We hope you are inspired by stories like those of Mark Anderson, Ashley Richardson, Jayden Thurston and others who have successfully made the transition into tech. At VetsInTech, we are always looking to feature our servicemen and women in tech and celebrate their success stories by sharing them with our community. If you have a success story you would like to share, or if you know of someone we should feature, feel free to contact us at:
