Break Through Tech bridges the gap between undergraduate talent and the AI workforce - not just through education, but through the employer partnerships and applied learning experiences that turn potential into a career. Founded in 2016 by Dr. Judith Spitz, Break Through Tech launched as an initiative of Cornell Tech at a pivotal moment in New York's growth as a technology hub. The original focus was expanding access to computing careers for women at the City University of New York. Today, through scalable programs, deep employer partnerships, and our Work-Based Learning Innovation Lab, we are helping students, universities, and employers navigate the most consequential transformation the labor market has seen in a generation.
