Impact & initiatives

Impact that goes beyond the classroom.

Technology skills matter. What people can do with those skills matters even more. Our impact is reflected in the journeys of people who have learned, collaborated and worked through the Foundation.

Measuring impact

What meaningful impact looks like

We aim to understand our work through outcomes such as:

  • Opportunities for alumni to undertake paid project work
  • Practical experience gained through real client engagements
  • Successful delivery of useful technology solutions
  • Continued growth in participants' professional capabilities
  • Partnerships that create further opportunities for talent development

We are strengthening how we document these outcomes so we can share meaningful progress as our model develops.
