How can we kickstart civic tech careers for young professionals? Ariana Soto, Deputy Director of Coding It Forward, joins us to discuss her work in creating new opportunities for students to learn more about applying their technical skills to government roles. Ariana discusses how Coding It Forward has supported over 300 students in helping bring federal, state, and local government agencies to the 21st century. In highlighting the lack of technical opportunities in the government, Ariana notes how students can create new paths from the private sector to the public sector and vice-versa, while also noting partners who have supported bringing recent grads new opportunities. Ariana highlights the skills that can help in government roles, and then finally discusses her serendipitous path to where she is herself.
