2 years ago, we went on @ABCSharkTank to pitch our kiosk idea.
We didn’t get funded, but 2 years later:
- Kiosks are on their way into the community ✅
- We donated thousands of devices to students & workers in need during the pandemic ✅
- We launched our workforce dev program
In honor of being named to this year’s @DeBusinessTimes 40 Under 40, I’m raising money for NERDiT Cares! If 40 people donate $40, that’s $1,600…and I’m not far off from my goal!
You can support our next cohort of NERDiT Academy students by donating here: degives.org/fundraisers/40-u…
Congratulations to all the NERDs who graduated tonight! More than 80 students have gone through our workforce dev program, and are off in the world fixing tech and making bank 🏦
🗣️ The NERDiT Academy's Pre-Apprenticeship Program is seeking donations of unused devices — new, used, or not working.
Our workforce dev program gives students with the hands-on skills they need to put theory into practice, pass certs like CompTIA A & gain real-world experience
