Doing IT for Good
Landmark is proud to host Doing IT For Good (DITFG) our Annual Networking and Charity event.

Doing IT for Good brings together high profile business and technology executives, designed to foster cross-industry collaboration while encouraging new ways to promote Corporate Social Responsibility in the local community.  

These invitation-only events combine networking with a philanthropic mission to raise awareness about a local non-profit in the community.  This year, we proudly showcase a wonderful non-profit called Year Up, which offers urban young adults a path to cross the Opportunity Divide through classroom education in Information Technology coupled with apprenticeships at Fortune 500 companies .

Year Up provides a supportive foundation for students to develop successful careers in IT, following six months of classroom-based education and six months of corporate apprenticeship with one of Year Up's prestigious corporate partners. This unique program furthermore combines educational stipends and college credits for students, with equal emphasis placed on learning both the IT skills and the professional and business communication skills required to succeed in today's workplace.

Recent programs have included presentations by David Fike, CTO of Marsh & McLennan, and a personal story shared by John Sherman, a Year Up NYC graduate and current Senior IT Specialist on the Debt Market Trading Floor at Merrill Lynch.

We invite you to keep in touch with prior event attendees by joining our LinkedIn Group!
