Nice to meet you
Tech Fleet is a 501(c)(3) pending nonprofit. We help anyone, regardless of their level of experience, break into UX, Product, or Development roles.
Our mission
Tech Fleet's on a mission to create fair access to tech careers.
We aspire to make tech careers a reality for anyone. We live to serve people with zero to five years of experience in tech roles.
People without industry experience deserve a chance to succeed, regardless of who they are. We’re united by Tech Fleet’s values, and we celebrate our unique differences.
We want to close the talent gap by providing skill-building opportunities and a supportive community to those typically excluded from our industry. Tech Fleet partners with businesses who support our mission and align with our values.
We aim to help 10,000 underprivileged and underemployed individuals get hired in tech roles by 2030. We'll track our progress and involve specialists to hold us accountable.

Our values and principles
Diversity, equity, and inclusion
Tech Fleet accepts and appreciates our community members’ diversity in all aspects including cultures, experience, and knowledge. We won’t achieve our mission until we amplify voices of those previously unseen and unheard in the tech industry.
Discovery
Career paths aren’t linear. Tech Fleet celebrates every individual’s journey, no matter where it starts. If you’re willing and ready to learn, our community is here to support you, every step of the way. We offer many ways to discover new areas of the field, and discover your place in them.
Decentralization
As a distributed organization, those we serve have power to shape our future. Tech Fleet community contributors are invited to lead, design and vote on our operations and direction. Just as career paths vary, Tech Fleet's operations evolve and improve based on changing needs. Together, we move our mission forward.
Mutual aid
Our global community is fueled by collective contribution and reciprocal benefit. Every member has something to offer as they advance their tech career: a skill, a resource, an idea. Whatever members bring to the table, we are responsible to each other and for Tech Fleet’s success.
