PHILANTHROPY
In 2023 TTEC partnered with Wake Technical Community College to provide a scholarship annually to a student/students pursuing a career in IT. We had a very successful turnout, and plan to continue this scholarship partnership into 2024 with the goal of helping further a student's development that includes an opportunities for internships or an entry level position. As part of this experience TTEC also provides a network of IT professionals that can prepare them for the future with skills and knowledge in varying subjects and topics so they can excel in their careers after graduation.
Congratulations to our 2023 TTEC Scholarship Recipients!
BEA PATE Beatrice Pate is an amazing story of personal triumph through hardship. She has found herself in situations where her basic needs could not be met. Additionally, she has had to work while going to school, taking care of sick family members at the same time. In the last two years she has lost multiple family members, but has managed to keep it together to continue her education. She has completed a bachelor’s degree and returned to Wake Tech as a dual major in Cybersecurity and Network Management. Meanwhile, Beatrice has managed to work a full-time job and secured another position in the work-based learning program as a SOC Analyst through the Carolina Cyber Network. |
