At Last Mile, we love to talk about our work and our students, so of course we love a good podcast. Check out these podcasts to hear our story first hand!
Join us for an inspiring conversation with Alex, a student at Bossier Parish Community College who, despite facing challenges, including financial struggles, is on the verge of graduating with a degree in tech and is passionate about making a difference in the world of cloud engineering, in our pilot podcast episode of "Keep Your Eyes on the Road," a non-profit organization dedicated to helping struggling-yet-striving students achieve their dreams of graduating.
Founder and CEO Ruthe Farmer speaks with Jared O’Leary at #CSK8 about Last Mile. | “I come at this work from both a feminist lens and an equity lens. This is one place where women and underrepresented students are not getting their fair share. And it is the one place where if they did get that fair share would have the greatest impact on socio-economic mobility.”
CEO Ruthe Farmer appeared on Debugged: A Congressional App Challenge Podcast, which connects the country’s youth and technology by *debugging* the intricate world of technology. | “We make a promise to students, to young people that if you come into this pathway, we’re here for you to help you make sure that you finish … [and] get to graduation.”
Founders Rian Walker, Sarah Lee, and Ruthe Farmer appear on this podcast to discuss the cybersecurity talent pipeline problem and individuals and organizations could play a part in growing the future of the cybersecurity workforce.
Ruthe Farmer featured on the Careers for Women, Trades and Veterans in Tech and Data Centers podcast | “We’re talking about half the population that you’re leaving out if you don’t fix some of these structural barriers. It’s simply smart business,” says Farmer.
