Update: August 2024

And we back, and we back

It's been quite a year and a while since we updated you. Trust me when I say we have been hard at work.

Company Updates

  • We had some setbacks this year, but Empowr is moving forward with ferocity. This year, we will be teaching out of two new facilities located in Decatur and Clayton County. Our reach is expanding, and we are able to serve more students.

  • Empowr spoke at both Figma Config and Open Edx conferences this year. These are two outstanding companies that have helped Empowr tremendously this year.

  • We have had our heads down, focusing on scale and replication. Empowr has been working with the Greenlight Fund to create a strategy that will allow us to scale up the number of students we serve.

Student Updates

  • Another graduating class! 100% of our graduates have gone to college. Check out our updated graduates page to see what they are up to.

  • Empowr had three students intern at MIT this year. MIT has proven to be a fantastic internship partner for Empowr.

Thank Yous

  • To the students for putting in the hard work 👏🏽
