Vivek Nair & Allie Glotfelty chat with ITSPmagazine’s Selena Templeton for Diverse IT about Hatch, Twilio's 6-month apprenticeship program for people with nontraditional technical backgrounds. Tune in to hear how the idea of Hatch formed with the desire to recruit software engineers outside of the typical talent pipeline, why Allie did a 180 from math teacher to teaching herself to code (and is now a full-time engineer at Twilio), and why it’s important that Twilio employees are representative of the people who actually use their product.
