City Colleges and Apple Team Up to Help Students Build Competitive Tech Resumes

As she continues her studies at Kennedy-King College, cybersecurity student Favour Gbadamosi has already built an impressive resume.

Kennedy-King helped Favour secure an internship at SDI Presence, where she's worked for over a year updating software for the company's laptops and computers. Her most recent venture is learning app development through the Everyone Can Code program.

Everyone Can Code is a partnership City Colleges has with Apple that provides students with a paid tech internship and experiential learning opportunities. Students at both Truman and Kennedy-King Colleges are participating in the program this summer.

Favour and her classmates are learning IOS development and how to think critically, which helps them in school, apprenticeships, jobs, and life. This summer, participants looked for a problem in their community and created an app that helps solve the problem. Favour's group created an app that teaches kindergarteners to read, write, and pronounce letters.

"Everyone Can Code is a great program to be a part of," Favour said. "It's great to have Apple on your resume. It pays, it gives you experience working with IOS, and it teaches skills I can use outside of Kennedy-King and in my future career."

Everyone Can Code is part of the Tech Launchpad at Kennedy-King College. Kennedy-King College's Tech Launchpad provides students access to high-quality academic and training in tech. This ensures students are ready to navigate the tech ecosystem and succeed at a tech career at a variety of companies.
