But in addition to providing skills development and real-world experiences, programs like PowerUpTech must also help college students forge a real connection with the community. Buying into immersive and hands-on engagement is what will encourage even more emerging professionals to envision – and ultimately create – their futures in Buffalo.

In light of the graduation at Per Scholas Buffalo earlier this year and the Hiring and Interview event we held at Northland Workforce Training Center last month, we are excited to see so many talented individuals taking the next step in their careers. Their journeys remind us of inspiring success stories like Olga Meade. Olga utilized the programs at Buffalo Center for Arts and Technology and Trocaire College to hone her skills once arriving in Western New York. Not only did these programs lead her to a new career, but also to a role where she now empowers others as an adjunct instructor at Trocaire College teaching IT. Her journey proves that with the right training and opportunities, graduates can not only build successful careers but also give back to the community. We can’t wait to see where this new wave of graduates takes their careers. Read more on Olga and other inspiring stories below.

Our success as a region is twofold. More tech companies will lead to more hiring of talent for good-paying jobs. And the more tech talent we have in Buffalo, the more companies will want to grow and relocate here. In order to produce the next success stories like Odoo and Lennon Williams, as an ecosystem we must continue to provide people with pathways to build in-demand skills that businesses need to flourish.
