Curious about what The Collab Lab is?
Here's the TL;DR
The Collab Lab increases access to web development jobs for early-career developers and, in particular, people in under-represented groups in tech by providing experiential skills training in software team collaboration and career management.
I sat down with Stacie Taylor to dive deeper into all things Collab Lab.
transcription from the podcast short:
The collab lab really gives you that kinda experience so that you can talk about, you know, when an interviewer is like, Tell us about a time you had to give somebody feedback.
You're like, Yeah, I was working on a team of developers, and here's a very realistic time when that happens. So it's kind of like giving your first job in a very safe, comfortable space so that you can take those insights into the job search and really impress people.
– Stacie Taylor, Engineering Team Lead at Zapier, Co-founder & mentor at The Collab Lab
We also discussed her origin story and we even talked about career advice. Thanks for the great conversation Stacie!
