Abstract
The project builds private sector PIT career pipelines for network students (especially those at collaborating institutions Stanford, UW, and Pepperdine) by curating opportunities to use technology for public benefit, preparing students via experiential education, and leveraging Stanford's, UW's, and Pepperdine's connections and relationships. Our primary objective has been to expand on the work started as part of our Year 1 Challenge Grant to prepare and provide meaningful career opportunities for students focused on using technology to benefit policy and forge solutions to pressing social and environmental issues. PIT career options have historically been concentrated in the public sector—namely nonprofits, NGOs, and government agencies—and our second phase of work supplements these more traditional options with opportunities in the private sector. The project focuses on building private sector PIT career pipelines by curating opportunities to use technology for public benefit, preparing students via experiential education, and leveraging Stanford’s Silicon Valley relationships along with relationships cultivated by project partners University of Washington and Pepperdine University. Specific proposed objectives and results are detailed below.
