Career Series (Phase 1)

Career Series - April 13th & 16th (Phase 1)

On Friday, April 13th and Monday, April 16th we held live career-focused webinars to help provide you with resources as you prepare you for a career in tech. Webinar leaders answered career questions like "Should I learn Kotlin or Java" to resume questions like "What's the best way to add skills/programming languages that I am presently learning"?
