TechBridge and Atlanta Housing announce the Technology Career Program and Digital Leadership Academy crossover program coming February 2021 News provided by Share this article Share this article ATLANTA, Feb. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- TechBridge has partnered with Atlanta Housing (AH) to launch an exciting new venture, allowing the next graduates of the Technology Career Program (TCP) to be part of the flagship Digital Leadership Academy (DLA) with AH. This TCP cohort will participate in a 10-week, free program offering education and certifications in high-demand technology skills, greatly increasing the employability of each TCP/DLA graduate in the information technology sector. The partnership between AH and TechBridge grew out of a conversation between Atlanta Housing Chief Information Officer, Brian Benn, and TechBridge Vice President of Development, Andre Dickens, where both saw great potential for a partnership. As AH undergoes a digital transformation, Benn said that they were considering how Atlanta Housing could "take this digital transformation and not only look inward, but outward." This is an ideal partnership for Atlanta Housing and TechBridge as the goal of the program aligns with the overall mission of both organizations. As stated in AH's 5-year strategy, the organization strives to achieve connectivity to create equity and self-sufficiency, and TechBridge recognizes that digital inequality correlates to social inequality. "I am hopeful that this partnership is a giant step towards bridging the digital divide", Nicole Armstrong CEO of TechBridge.
