The Challenge
Broadening Reach While Maintaining Technical Rigor
The company approached CodePath with the challenge of unlocking target regions to reach high-achieving Computer Science students outside of their existing college network, especially those from underserved populations. They also wanted to ensure that these students were trained with the right skills to excel in software engineering internships and full-time jobs at the organization.
