Join us for a new Migrants in Tech Meet-up! ✨

This time we’re thrilled to welcome Perrin Rowland, Chief Product Experience Officer at AcademyEx, and Farhan Sattar from Microsoft as our guest speakers!

Perrin will dive into learning pathways that work, and how to stand out in the NZ tech job market. Farhan will share about free and affordable Microsoft learning programs designed to boost your career and build in-demand skills.
