UNITE-LA launched its sixth cohort of Step into Tech (the same day as My Pathway to Health) with 24 participants. The cohort ranges, with all levels of experience, and they dove into learning about and practicing social networking skills via speed-networking sessions, as well as an informative LinkedIn session. Career exploration in computer networking, cybersecurity and data science was a big hit.

Participants were also assigned “Intro to Networking” and “Intro to Cybersecurity” courses via the Cisco Networking Academy that will help them gain a more comprehensive understanding of each of the pathways. Similar to MPTH, participants were matched and began meeting with their mentors, who they will connect with three times over the next few months.
