As a significant and growing percentage of the local workforce, consumers, and tax base, the innovation economy has a meaningful role to play in our community. We see the challenges our cities face. Kids need mentors, skills, and connections to get great jobs. Homelessness seems ever persistent. Traffic is a pain. sea.citi is here to help you understand and take action on the important civic issues that we’re all grappling with.
Great work is already being done. Companies regularly host volunteer opportunities and have philanthropy programs. Programs like Apprerenti at WTIA and Ada Developers Academy broaden industry inclusion and give career-changers the skills they need to get great jobs. But to make change, we need to do more. Our combined efforts in the community will not only make our city stronger but also continue to be a great place for tech to thrive.
Your city is better with you.
Nick, CEO
Career connected learning means kids are ready for jobs
We envision a future where any local student can get a job in our innovation economy if they want it. Our programming to support local K-12 public education is designed to ignite students’ interest in our field and provide them with some of the tools they need along the way. We bring students to local tech companies, host volunteer events, source school supplies, and bring STEM programming into the schools. As an innovation worker, over a few short hours you can team up with us and Pacific Science Center to help support this programming.
