What we do

From curious about tech to your first offer.

Educational programming

Start from zero. Leave with real skills.

Tech is a big industry with a lot of doors. Our sessions give you the vocabulary, the frameworks and the hands-on practice to walk through them, whatever you did before Anderson.

  • Accelerated Curriculum

    Five tech deep-dives on how the internet, storage, cloud compute, data systems and software delivery really work, each paired with a strategy case.

  • Hands-on skills workshops

    Write a product spec, prototype an MVP with AI tools, learn SQL, ship a website and practice system design.

  • Function 101 sessions

    Walk through how a function really works, from idea to design to engineering to QA.

  • Speaker panels

    Practitioners on tech and entertainment, sports, policy, global markets and more.

  • Founder AMAs & product demos

    Fireside chats with experienced executives, and tech companies pitching their latest products on campus.

  • Flagship conferences

    The Tech + Society Conference with the Easton Technology Management Center each fall, and the annual Emerging Tech Conference with the Entrepreneur Association each spring.

Networking opportunities

Meet the people who hire, and the people who've been there.

Recruiting runs on relationships. We put you in the room with recruiters, founders, alumni and each other, early enough for it to matter.

  • Career Nights

    Networking with alumni working in tech, plus Startup Career Nights with founders.

  • Days-on-the-Job & company visits

    Go to companies, or have them come to campus, to see the work and meet the teams.

  • Treks & site visits

    Curated group trips to LA Tech Week and other local tech conferences, plus regular visits to see emerging tech deployed at scale.

  • Mixers

    First-year and second-year socials, cross-school mixers with Marshall and Haas, and a quarterly mixer pairing MBAs with engineering, law, medical and film students.

  • Mentorship program

    Join the program at the start of the year, with check-ins along the way.

  • Cross-club events

    Joint events with other Anderson groups, including the Entrepreneur Association, women in tech and the identity clubs.

Career development

Practice until the real thing feels routine.

Interviews are a skill. We run the workshops, mock interviews and case practice that turn interest into offers, and members get a library of recruiting resources on top.

  • Resume, cover letter & networking workshops

    Write a tech-ready resume and cover letter, and learn the professionalism recruiters expect.

  • Interview prep

    Coaching from second-years, speed behavioral mocks, alumni mock interviews and strategy casing practice.

  • Recruiting strategy sessions

    Panels on full-time re-recruiting, a workshop for international students, and company panels with the employers that hire most.

  • Ship It build sessions

    Monthly virtual sessions where members write and publish a LinkedIn post about what they built that month.

  • Members-only resource library

    Recruiting guides, trackers and upcoming events, available after you sign in.
