Newark is known as a technology hub with a historically underestimated population. Since 2023, TKH has taken a grassroots approach to build robust relationships with local community organizations, schools, and elected officials to build a program that reflects the different and many needs of the Newark community. We partner with funders dedicated to Newark to provide life-changing tech training for career success.
