Our Story
Years 2003-2010
TechEngage was a startup community-based non-profit training organization that was founded in 2003 to provide unemployed and under-employed technical professionals with an affordable opportunity to obtain high-quality training to be competitive in a tough job market and to help technology workers who had recently lost their jobs due to the “Dot-Com Bust“. Many of these workers had old technology skills in equipment and systems that had been (or were being) phased out due to Y2K issues. The purpose of TechEngage was to take these workers and provide them with market-relevant skills in database design, web application development, Java and .NET programming and other skills. We hosted 3 conferences and provided technical training and career guidance to over 600 unemployed workers in the Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill area.
We provided training in the form of multi-day conferences featuring world-class instructors. These conferences were designed to help participants develop their skills, learn about cutting-edge technologies, and prepare for the job-hunting process. As part of our effort to prepare participants for their job searches, our conferences included instruction on crucial soft skills such as networking and resume-writing.
We also provided participants with opportunities to meet and develop relationships with potential employers.
It was a community-based organization at that time, and we asked that all participants in our conferences to give back to the community in one of two ways:
- By making a cash donation of $150 to the TechEngage Foundation to be used to host more technical conferences and to support technology initiatives at local charitable organizations.
- Volunteering at least 40 hours of high-tech support services to a local non-profit organization.

Overall it was a very successful venture. When the economy began to improve, we closed the organization because employment had recovered.
