🚀🚀🚀 New Partnership. New Pathways. Greater Opportunity.
Tech Exchange is thrilled to officially announce our new partnership with the Oakland Workforce Development Board (OWDB) as a WIOA provider through our Serve2STEM Workforce Development Program!
This partnership represents an exciting step forward in our commitment to creating accessible, real-world pathways into technology careers for Oakland’s young adults. Through Serve2STEM, participants gain hands-on technical training, paid work experience, mentorship, career exploration, and the skills and confidence needed to take their next step toward employment, education, and long-term economic mobility.
We’re also excited to continue our work with the Bay Tech Career Initiative (BTCI)and grateful for the opportunity to work alongside Quinallison Dovey and the incredible leadership team at OWDB. Also super grateful to continue our work with the amazing Empathways Desing team (Kennan and Karen Scott). Oakland’s workforce ecosystem is strongest when organizations bring their unique strengths together—and we’re proud to be part of that collective effort.
Here’s to building stronger pathways, expanding opportunity, and preparing Oakland’s next generation of tech talent!
