ABOUT US

ABOUT US

ABOUT US

  • Friends In Technology (FIT) was created to bring together executives, employees and recruiters from the “BIG” tech companies in an effort to expose under served and underrepresented students to careers in tech.  
  • In 2017, the FIT Team hosted the first Tech + Talk + Tour at middle and high schools in Detroit during Black History Month.  The tour featured ERG leads from Microsoft, Google, LinkedIn and Amazon. 
  • In addition, FIT serves as a collective voice for employees at big tech companies and helps establish a national  agenda for   policy and change.


We are committed to serving as a "connector" between students, employees and the big tech community.
