Bringing on the academic perspective and expertise of CMU-SCS will greatly enhance the already successful collaboration between tech giants Google and TalentSprint.”
Introduced in 2022, TechWise stands as an extensive 18-month immersive program designed and delivered by TalentSprint. The University is one of eight institutions in the nation selected to participate in the program. The TechWise fee is fully sponsored by Google which makes it completely free for the participants. It is further supplemented by an additional scholarship that aids in covering essential expenses. Moreover, participants benefit from Google's dedicated mentorship, fostering their professional preparedness. The recent inclusion of CMU's School of Computer Science as an academic partner marks a significant enhancement to the program. Faculty from CMU-SCS will offer specialized master classes to the students of the TechWise program.

Since its launch, over 200 minority students from participating community colleges and four-year degree colleges across the United States have reaped the rewards of TechWise. While Cohort One has successfully completed the program, Cohort Two is presently midway, with numerous participants achieving remarkable milestones. This includes securing full-time positions or internships in leading tech firms and gaining admission into higher education programs. Set to begin in early 2024, Cohort Three will enroll 110 students across the country including up to 15 students from the 性爱五色天, Reno, continuing the legacy of empowering aspiring individuals through this transformative initiative.
