PAST STUDENTS
Pierre Harbin
San Fransico State University → GitHub

“I truly believe that gaining research experience is a wonderful way to gain exposure to graduate school and gain real life skills, because research is the foundation for most jobs in the 21st century.”
Vanessa Valle
UC Merced → Internship
“I don’t think I could have gotten an internship without the Accelerate program. I went into my first college class and it seemed like everybody else already knew what they were doing. I was still learning the basics. I thought, ‘Those students are going to get all the internships.“
Guillermo Zendejas
Hartnell → CSUMB → Uber
“CTI’s problem solving curriculum, open source software development experience, resume workshops, application tracking, mentor relationship and the internship search sessions connected me to the computing profession very early on in my college journey.“
Victoria Zamora
“Having to work – often two or more jobs – the support I received from CTI programs helped me and led me to a productive career.“
