Together we can

Community and Corporate Partners
By building and maintaining strong corporate and community partnerships, CCC has established a proven method of providing a pipeline of professionals ready for career placement in the tech industry.
As corporations increasingly commit to diversifying their workforce, CCC’s apprenticeship program is a mutually beneficial pursuit for companies and prospective candidates alike.
Through thoughtful support and funding opportunities from donors, foundations and community leaders, CCC continues to explore more opportunities for growth.

Diversifying the Tech Industry
Demand for skilled tech workers is high — along with the desire to create a corporate culture that supports diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and attract a more diverse pool of candidates. Our program is designed to support students while providing our corporate partners the opportunity to uphold their commitment to DEI. By addressing inequality in the sector now, we’ll make the future of the industry more inclusive and prosperous for all people — and help businesses keep their competitive edge.

Creating Careers - And Rewriting Futures
We know that for many, a traditional degree program through a four-year university isn’t always affordable or feasible, but that doesn’t lessen their drive to enter the workforce trained and ready to make a difference. Through active recruitment efforts, we will identify those passionate about advancing or redefining their career and give them the tools to rewrite their future.
