Chill Tech Program

CHILL Tech Program is a 6-week, paid internship that will provide 16–24-year-olds with the opportunity to work with a certified technician to learn:

  • Best practices in troubleshooting to identify and diagnose issues
  • Product knowledge, including Mac and PC hardware and software
  • Customer service skills and addressing the needs of clients in a professional manner
  • Computer programming languages
  • Upon completion, scholars will be able to keep their laptops
The technology field is one of the country’s fastest-growing industries but severely lacks diversity. Purpose-Built to Advance Equity: Expanding Opportunities in Tech for Black Americans report by the nonprofit, Jobs for the Future, states that “Black workers account for nearly 12 percent of the total workforce but only 8 percent of the tech workforce. Only 3 percent of all tech board directors are Black…” The lack of representation in one of the fastest growing industries in the country is what companies like PSITech Support are working to change.
In partnership with PSITech Support, a BIPOC-led technology startup based in the Twin Cities, we’re developing a curriculum to provide paid internships to high school students and young adults with the goal of preparing them for 21st century job opportunities and diversifying the technology industry.
