Code With Pride Panel: Navigating The Spectrum of Tech Careers

When you begin learning the foundational skills to begin a career in the tech industry, you can scroll through dozens of different tech job titles that may sound like an unfamiliar language at first.

With the worldwide labor shortage in technology, media and telecommunications expected to rise to 4.3 million workers by 2030, there is certainly room for you in the tech industry. But where, exactly?

On Tuesday, August 25, 11 a.m. to noon, LaunchCode's Code With Pride will be discussing different career paths, offering advice on how to break into the industry and dissect the skills and personality/work traits that best relate to different types of tech roles.

Our panelists will include:

• Emily Henze, Salesforce Marketing Cloud Technology Expert - Information Technology at Nestlé

• LaShana Lewis, Director - St. Louis Equity in Entrepreneurship Collective ; CEO & Founder - L.M. Lewis Consulting; Director of Whimsy - Givable

• Mike Ross, System Administrator - Information Technology at Nestlé

• Abu Sayem, Information Technology Specialist - Information Technology at Nestlé

• Rachel Williams, current LaunchCode Apprentice (Product Owner)

The event will begin promptly at 11 a.m. and will have time in the last 10-15 minutes to ask questions of our panel. Settle in for an early lunch and great conversation about finding YOUR PLACE in tech.
