What people are saying about Summer of Tech
“We went from having to worry about multiple different software and services to having a centralised platform. One big change we saw was seeing a list of candidates and proactively marking candidates we felt might be worth reaching out to, as opposed to listing a job ad and hoping for applications.”
— James Ing, Technical Lead at Landkind, 2022

I have been volunteering with Summer of Tech for seven years, and it's still a consistent avenue to learn and challenge myself.”
