Talk on "Beyond the Code: How to Stand Out and Start Out in Tech Careers"

Want to stand out in your next internship or summer student interview?
You’re learning how to build technology…
Do you know how technology actually gets approved, funded, governed, and delivered?
You’re learning how to code.
You’re learning data modeling.
You’re learning architecture principles.
But do you understand how real organizations actually deliver technology solutions?
Join this seminar to discover:
– How SDLC, PMLC, OCM, and strategy practices shape real-world delivery
– How these practices level up your value in these roles
– Why hiring leaders look for more than technical skill
– How to make your resume and interview answers stand out
– Practical ways to build differentiating experience before you graduate
If you want to move from “technically capable” to “hire immediately,” this session is for you.
We'll include a practical case example from the SGI Data Office where technical leadership and practices leadership joined forces to recover a troubled delivery stream.
