Talent

In this speech originally presented at a celebration dinner, Indy Tech Fellowship Graduate of 2016 Nathan Nieman offered his take on the fellowship and what it meant to him.

It is the second year for Nextech’s Educator Externship, a five-day professional development program that immerses 24 computer science educators from 21 Indiana middle and high schools into the local tech industry.

Sam's time as a TechPointX Sales Bootcamp participant helped him define his place in the tech ecosystem and has led him on a path toward success in his own career as well as the opportunity to help build up tech in the place he’s always called home.

Talent is a key ingredient any tech ecosystem needs to thrive, and Indiana’s growing business climate has set a pace of thousands of jobs that need to be filled.

Through specially cultivated academic alliances with top tech companies across the country and here in Indiana, Ivy Tech Community College students are receiving the real-world exposure and training needed to fill tech workforce needs.
