Tech Education Initiative Connects Industry Professionals

From middle schoolers to recent grads, providing a helping hand that offers support, guidance and resources for a technology-fueled future is the mission of BYTE, an education initiative from CompTIA’s Future Leaders Community. The purpose of BYTE—which fittingly stands for Bringing Youth Tech Education—is to connect current leaders in the industry with students who are interested in technology.

Launched last year at the Technology Student Association’s (TSA) national conference, BYTE is an indispensable resource for every spoke on the wheel of tech education—it’s a hub of engaging information for students and teachers; a support toolkit for parents; and a resource for mentorships for tech professionals who can help usher in the next batch of innovators and industry leaders. And, BYTE is determined to make education in tech as seamless and integrative as reading and writing.

“The Future Leaders Community is all about bringing youth to tech and into tech spaces and careers,” said Heather Ptak, chair of the Future Leaders Executive Council and director, field marketing, at ConnectWise. “We created BYTE as a toolkit that tech professionals can use to help young people in their community really grow and showcase how awesome it is to have a tech career.”

Developed by CompTIA’s Future Leaders Community, the BYTE initiative is multipronged by design, and in addition to targeting industry professionals, includes resources for people like parents and teachers who can offer support and guidance along the way.
