Having witnessed Cheryl’s dedication to improving STEM outcomes for First Nations youth, it was a pleasure to formalise our partnership with Indigenous Technology. In support of the Mirrinj program, Kyndryl and Indigenous Technology co-designed a series of workshops aimed at demystifying career pathways in ICT, that will lead to paid work opportunities for First Nations students and graduates.

“Collaborating with Cheryl and the Indigenous Technology team for Mirrinj was a humbling and rewarding experience for all involved. The Mirrinj Program promotes STEM awareness and showcases potential career pathways and First Nations role models to Indigenous students. Cheryl’s dedication and commitment to creating tomorrow’s workforce is second to none. I’d recommended more Partners get involved with the Mirrinj Program and help bring about positive change in the community.”
