About LA-Tech.org
LA-Tech.org connects the Los Angeles tech community with untapped talent, opening doors to internships, jobs, and careers for the next generation of leaders. We're a 501(c)(3) nonprofit coalition of LA area tech companies working together to close the access gap, not a skills gap, and to build economic opportunity in historically underrepresented communities across LA County.
