About the Program
Since 2014, HITEC has been dedicated to developing the next generation of Hispanic technology leaders through our Emerging Executive Program (EEP). To date, 621 fellows have completed the program, advancing their careers and contributing to a thriving community of Hispanic professionals in technology.
The EEP program is a 9-month cohort-based initiative designed to address the unique challenges and opportunities faced by Hispanic executives.
