Hallo x UNCF
Strike Up a Career with Stryker
Here’s a quick recap of Stryker’s session at the Revolution Tech Summit — an exclusive career event for African-American students, recent grads, and alumni passionate about pursuing careers in tech.
Hallo There!
If this is the first article of ours that you’re reading…let us introduce ourselves:
Hallo is a digital events platform that connects university talent to top brands, with an emphasis on helping diverse talent, women, and other minorities gain access to networks and opportunities that have previously been closed off to them due to barriers of entry such as lack of access to tools, networks, resources, and contacts that can be absolute game changers when it comes to snagging employment.
As part of our mission to empower untapped communities and elevate them to success, we are excited to announce the Revolution Tech Summit Series for UNCF scholars— an exclusive career event for African-American students, recent grads, and alumni passionate about pursuing careers in tech.
Our inaugural summit took place from November 10th-12th of this year and featured corporate heavy-hitters like Netflix, Udemy, Stryker, Riot Games, T-Mobile, and more! Companies convened with students to share insights about career pathways, existing career opportunities and how to position yourself as a standout candidate.
All sessions of the summit are available to view on demand here!
