At ActivateWork, we create pathways into tech careers for people who are often overlooked by traditional hiring and education systems.
Many of the individuals we serve have faced barriers to opportunity—not because of a lack of talent, but because they haven’t had access to the right training, resources, or support.
We believe that when high-potential people have access to quality training and career opportunities, there is no limit to what they can achieve. They don’t just land jobs—they build careers, empowered with the capability and confidence to succeed and thrive over the long term.
ActivateWork is a talent solutions organization that transforms motivated individuals into highly skilled, valuable team members. Our unique combination of rigorous recruiting, industry-driven training, curated job matches, and professional skills coaching prepares new employees to show up ready to contribute on day one.
Combatting inequity and creating opportunity for all is not just smart business; I believe it’s the moral imperative of our day. In the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., ‘The time is right to do what is right.’
