Nebraska Innovation Labs Foundation

Home / Partner with us

Partner with us to build Nebraska's technology workforce

We work with funders, employers, universities, and community organizations that want to widen the path into software careers for underserved and underrepresented individuals.

Why organizations get involved

Employers need developers with real project experience. Funders want programs that remove barriers to good jobs. Schools and community groups want graduates to have a next step.

The Foundation combines paid training, on-site instruction, and senior mentorship in one program in Omaha. A partnership can strengthen any part of it.

Participants have been placed with employers including the Department of Defense, Union Pacific, Fiserv, Mutual of Omaha, First National Bank of Omaha, CACI International, Rocket Companies, and more.
