Spotlight: WGU School of Technology Roadshow

This year, the WGU School of Technology Roadshow has been traveling the country, building connections and showcasing the innovation and impact of the WGU tech community. The Roadshow brings together WGU alumni, industry partners, local leaders, school leadership, and students to promote IT education, workforce development, and new opportunities.

Thank you to all our incredible alumni who joined these events and contributed to the conversation. Your voices are helping to open doors and inspire the next generation of tech talent.

And the Roadshow isn’t done yet—Boston is the final stop this month. We’re excited to continue celebrating the impact of WGU alumni across the country!
