CIS: Emerging Tech Entrepreneurship (Technest)
Preparing Tomorrow's Tech Workforce Today
In collaboration with MIT (CIS 106: Introduction to Computer Coding Using Python),
UC Berkeley (CIS 107: Data Science), Renesas and the Microfacturing Institutes (CIS
108: Internet of Things), and BUS 068: Entrepreneurship, the Technest program is designed
to bridge Silicon Valley's wage and skills gap.
As former SJECCD Chancellor Breland stated: "We must open the doors of opportunity in Silicon Valley to students who traditionally have not had access to computer science curriculum."
The Technest program strives to do just that.
If you'd like to enroll in one of the Technest programs, please fill out the Technest
