America On Tech Concludes Its 2022-2023 Tech Skills Fellowship Programs

As of last week, AOT’s  2022-2023 Tech Skills Alumni Fellowship Program is now complete! Congratulations to all our immensely talented graduates for participating in this year’s programs. Learn more about their experiences below.

Beginning in Fall of 2022, AOT launched a series of 5 cohorts aimed at providing continued education for our college aged alumni to bridge the gap between our high school programs and securing a job or internship in their field(s) of choice. Each cohort focused on a specific topic and our 2022-2023 offerings were as follows: User Experience, Data Science, Digital Marketing, Cyber Security, and Product Management. 

Here’s what AOT students had to say about their experiences:

“It was so rewarding to come out with work that I am proud to demonstrate.” - Rosa G., UX Design Fellowship graduate and Freshman at CUNY Hunter College 

“The lectures were very packed with information plus [our instructor’s] experience. Each example he gave was backed up by his own experience in the industry.” - Evelyn Z., Digital Marketing Fellowship graduate and Freshman at New York Institute of Technology

“I am grateful for the contacts I have made and the assignments that I can use in my portfolio! I am also grateful for the lectures as I now understand digital marketing way better than I used to.” - Zidane M., Digital Marketing Fellowship graduate and Freshman at Fashion Institute of Technology

All of our Fellowships are taught in conjunction with partners at leading companies, with this year’s offerings including Blackstone, Factset, PwC, TikTok, Comcast NBCUniversal, and Snap.

As of last week, all 5 of our Fellowship tracks for the 2022-2023 academic year are now complete, with 120 students graduating in total. Here are some highlights from the program:

• 86% of students enrolled successfully completed their fellowships
• 79% of students enrolled identified as Female or Non-Binary/Gender Non-Conforming
• 66% of enrolled students identify as Black or Latinx

​We are also starting to see big results from our past Fellowship program participants. Congratulations to the following AOT students and alumni!
