New Relic’s Tech Trip: Tearing Down Barriers to Careers in Tech

New Relic's Tech Trip initiative aims to dismantle barriers preventing young people from pursuing careers in technology by partnering with local charities and schools globally, highlighting their commitment to diversity and inclusion in the tech industry. Through the NewRelic.org Global Impact Campaign, over 100 employees engaged with 240 students across eight offices, providing hands-on activities, career advice, and relatable role models to inspire students from underrepresented communities. These efforts were part of a broader strategy to foster a more diverse tech workforce by leveraging New Relic’s global presence and resources to make a local impact. Events were held in multiple cities, including Barcelona, Dublin, Atlanta, Phoenix, San Francisco, Portland, Sydney, and Tokyo, each tailored to the specific needs of the communities, with activities ranging from panel discussions and resume workshops to school visits and interactive problem-solving exercises. The initiative underscores New Relic's dedication to social impact and the belief that everyone stands to benefit from a more inclusive tech industry, supported by a leadership team passionate about innovation and technology.
