In 2017, The Hidden Genius Project partnered with Uber to launch Uber Career Prep, a first-of-its-kind career prep program for college engineering students. The goal was to develop a scalable approach for mentoring and preparing young men of color to thrive in technology careers. With the guidance of Uber engineers, the program provided aspiring computer science majors the opportunity to learn in-person at Uber HQ, technical interview skills, communication, self-marketing skills, and insights into how top engineers succeed. In 2018, 16 Black male college students from around the nation joined the inaugural cohort and completed the program.
Uber Career Prep now hosts cohorts of 50 Fellows virtually, from all over the world, and is open to students regardless of their gender, race, religion, abilities, or sexual orientation.
