Today Julia (our Marketing Director) and myself had an appointment with one of the managers of the Plug & Play Tech Center in Sunnyvale. That organization is an amazing incubator for Bay Area start ups, where new ideas and aspirations meet with venture capital, strategic partners, and like minded people. The Center has beeing in business for 4 years now and almost all that time some of their start ups utilized our graduates either as employees or as interns.
The reason for out visit today was to strengthen the ties with the innovative, 300 companies big community. We want to be active participants of the Center's numerous events. Why? Because we want to offer more career choices to our graduates. I also hope to bring some expertise from the Center to our classroom in the form of offering more classes and by inviting Silicon Valley's best as guest speakers.
We are considering joining the Resourse Partners program offered by Plug & Play Tech Center. It will allow us to develop strong relationships with the participating start ups and VCs. Our students would get many different opportunities to participate in the events as a part of the School team.
I am really excited about all the coming opportunities. Lets look at my schedule closely!!!
