For those that don’t already know, my name is Emily Kitterman and I am TechPoint’s Senior Manager of Careers in Tech. I’m reaching out to share details about two of our talent programs that we’d love to share with your students this fall, Xtern and Careers in Tech.

Xtern finalists will then interview with two-to-five potential tech companies for their internship on November 17th, 2023. ​​​
