We recently had the pleasure of hosting our first ever 'Get to Know Akamai' session for a group of talented high school students in our office. It was an incredible opportunity for them to explore diverse career paths in IT. 💼 🎓 We started the event by introducing Akamai and sharing insights into who we are and what we do. Our experts captivated the students, who shared their knowledge and provided valuable tips for their future journeys. The students also had a blast exploring our office during a fantastic guided tour! A big shout-out to all the volunteers and lecturers who made this event possible. Your dedication and passion for inspiring young minds in IT are truly commendable. Together, let's continue to shape a brighter future! 🌍
