Connecting overlooked tech students with industry
Mentors in Tech (MinT)
What we do
Mentors in Tech is a program that helps overlooked and underserved tech students at smaller, less well known, accessible and affordable colleges navigate and launch their careers through:
- Structured yearlong mentorship with industry mentors.
- Integrated hands-on industry and Open Source capstone projects.
- Tailored recruiting that connects employers to students.
75%+ of MinT program graduates accept a tech role within 6 months after graduation with an average salary of $95,000.
MinT provides equitable, inclusive, and accessible pathways to the middle class for IT / CS students with unique strengths and diverse lived backgrounds. We serve many students who are especially the furthest away from opportunities in tech.

Partner with us on student capstone projects
The MinT industry / OSS capstone project is low cost, low overhead, high impact alternative / complementary program to traditional summer internship programs for employers who want to work with overlooked nontraditional tech students from small colleges on a project managed by MinT staff and college faculty.
Through the projects, companies will be able to discover the unique strengths and abilities of our students.
