In this episode of the HRchat podcast, Bill Banham talks with Jeremy Shaki, Co-Founder and CEO at Lighthouse Labs, an organization with a mission to help bring extremely important and hard to achieve technical professional skills to people at the level they are seeking them – be that upgrading their coding skills for non-technical roles, helping teachers have the ability to bring code into classrooms, and helping professionals change their professions into full-blown developer roles.
Prior to this initiative, Jeremy worked in New Business Development for Sugar Media. He holds a Bachelor’s Degree from Concordia University in Political Science. Jeremy is a passionate advocate and believer in educational reform.
