Caroline Cruz

Caroline Cruz is a Software Engineer Intern at Pymetrics, a company that utilizes technology to enhance talent recruitment processes. She previously participated in Pursuit's coding apprenticeship program, where she spent ten months learning to code, which significantly transformed her career trajectory. Before joining the tech field, she was earning approximately $22,000 annually, but her new role has elevated her salary into the low six figures.1

In addition to her professional development, Cruz is committed to sharing her knowledge of coding with younger generations, teaching basic programming skills to her daughter and her friends.1 This reflects her dedication not only to personal growth but also to fostering interest in technology among children.

Cruz's journey exemplifies the impact of apprenticeship programs in creating pathways for underrepresented individuals in the tech industry.
