Breaking down barriers

We started Uvaro to help talented people break into tech. We wanted to reach those with varied employment backgrounds. Still today, we want all our members to go far beyond just landing a job. We want them to feel true Career Success.

But before any of that happens, you need to be seen.

We want to contribute to building an equitable tech industry through our Impact Scholarship. We see a future where everyone has the same opportunity, regardless of their background. Every candidate deserves an equal chance.
