Hey everyone,
We're so excited about launching NTT today! π I'm always striving to make tech more inclusive and NTT is the latest step in that journey. Like many great friendships these days mine and @aaronoleary's started on Twitter. Over DMs we would rant about all the misconceptions people have about working in tech - that you need to be technical, that you need to know everything about software and hardware, that you need to have studied at Stanford, etc.
We know there are so many talented people out there bored out of their minds in a mundane internship or job who could be a great asset in an exciting startup / tech company. But they probably aren't even considering working in tech because they don't know enough about it like what roles are out there and how to break in. The idea for NTT was born.
We've been in private beta for the last five months and now we're going public. We want to help students, recent grads and other young professionals find fulfilling work across the tech sector. We believe its the best way to change the world. We want to ensure our future is better than our present and that can only happen with diverse people building the future together.
TLDR:
NTT is on a mission to break down barriers in tech and help people find fulfilling work in tech regardless of their coding skills. We do this through a Slack channel, mentorship directory and interviews with (non)techies. Please ask us questions, share feedback and support the mission by joining us today.
@aaronoleary@abadesi Love the idea, guys - and great to see more people working on this issue. I studied Art History at university before getting into tech, so totally believe in the mission. Have joined the Slack channel π

@abadesi this is such a great idea! People often have the misconception that tech does not need marketeers, writers and other non-tech talent. I think, if there is a mind to learn, anybody can do anything!
I absolutely love tech and am on the lookout for exciting roles in the field. However, all I see are shoutouts to developers! This will be super useful. Excited to check it out :)
Best wishes! π€
πFormer philosophy student here... I got into tech by complete accident and was surprised how receptive the industry was to my background. I love that NTT is making this more prevalent <3
@hypervillain Tech by it's nature is inclusive but there is this awful misconception that you need to know how to code to get into tech, which is so not true! So glad you fell into tech! :D

It looks like you have restrictions on age, do you have other restrictions like race, gender, sexual orientation, etc?

Non-technical jobs are definitely on the rise.
With Google launching a course on Coursera for support positions. The world is definitely taking notice.
Learning to write copy to communicate effectively when working remote is extremely important.
Dopeπ¬π¬
That's awesome, would definitely love to contribute! I've started Planable at 19 and definitely lacked a lot of deep knowledge in marketing, growth hacking and technical such as SEO.
Would love to help if you have any questions ;)
