Purpose


Tech Is The Wave is a business focused on providing insight and visibility to the endless opportunities available within the technology industry. We want to help bridge the technology gap by providing the resources and information needed to land high-paying jobs within the technology field.

 

We also desire to help individuals build marketable skills that will last a lifetime and open the doors for life-changing career opportunities. In a continued effort to raise this awareness, Tech Is The Wave also offers clothing and other merchandise to help advocate for tech-related career fields.

 

Our blog aims to provide our ecosystem with past highlights, progress, updates, upcoming programs, and events.


We appreciate your support for the brand!


 

Highlights


Co-founder Dr. Fortune Onwuzuruike recently led a program with The Emerging 100 of Atlanta and Microsoft. This was to educate the youth on the different avenues within the technology space.

 

The day consisted of technical workshops, a tour of the Microsoft Atlanta campus, an internal Microsoft panel, and much more! Most notably, Microsoft was able to donate $10k towards scholarship funds, which will go to a high school student from the Atlanta Public School of The B.E.S.T Academy.
