Summary

New Relic's commitment to removing barriers that keep young people from pursuing careers in tech is a pledge that makes sense on multiple levels: as a solution to the industry's talent crunch; as a tactic for promoting opportunity and inclusion within communities that have often been under-represented in the tech field; and as an issue that many Relics feel strongly about. Tech Trips, which were supported by New Relic's first Global Impact Campaign, aimed to bring together students with Relics from various backgrounds to connect them with powerful role models for their own career journeys. The campaign was truly global, with events held in eight offices across the world, involving over 100 Relics and more than 240 students worldwide. Many of these events were hands-on activities that highlighted problem-solving skills, teamwork, and career development opportunities. New Relic's leadership team is passionate about innovation and diversity, and the company believes that building a more diverse and inclusive tech industry is crucial for everyone's success. By focusing on global teams serving local communities, New Relic aims to make technology accessible and enablement for nonprofits.
