I have always wanted to go to India. I love the cuisine and think it would be a really cool culture to see. India is also supposed to be a very inspiring and refreshing place. I hope that I would be able to see all different parts of the country since it is so diverse. I really hope that I am able to go visit someday soon!
I love Samosas, another reason why I would love to go to India to try them there.
GA has several unique qualities. The first is that we’re very focused on creating a global community of individuals empowered to pursue work they love. GA offers full-time immersive programs, long-form courses and classes and workshops on the most relevant current career skills from web development and user experience design, to business fundamentals, data science, product management and digital marketing.
Another unique quality of GA is that we’re an outcomes-based organization. We keep a focus on our graduates, making sure they receive the outcome they’re looking for whether that be leveling up in their current career, or transitioning to a new one.
Finally, GA provides education that appeals to almost all audiences by focusing on teaching as a specialized craft. We have a large team of instructional coaches with a lot of intensive teaching backgrounds that coach our instructors. These qualities combined make GA differ from other education companies.
I love our mission: to create a global community of individuals empowered to pursue work they love through tech education. Everyone at GA is extremely driven to improve education, create a world of more technologists and/or help people find meaningful careers in tech, business and design.
I also love the ability to be able to turn ideas into reality at GA. Earlier this year, I was able to launch the Opportunity Fund because others here, especially our co-founder Matt Brimer, recognized the need for increased diversity in tech, and put resources behind the initiative to make it a reality.
The Opportunity Fund provides scholarships for underrepresented groups such as women, African Americans/Latinos, veterans to take GA’s flagship Web Development Immersive program, a full-time coding school that turns a person from a beginner into a junior web developer. It’s our first big stab at tackling the problem of diversity in tech.
