Description

What you'll learn in this network training:

Whether you’re a student, recent graduate, or corporate professional, determining what your current work environment lacks and being able to transition successfully to a technology startup is an invaluable skill to possess. This class will help empower you to explore technology entrepreneurship by walking you through best practices tailored to the NYC tech startup community.
