What was your first job? “Busboy. I learned a lot of life in that job.”
Tech Impact was founded in collaboration with Microsoft as part of the NPower Network, national nonprofit on a mission to move people from poverty to the middle class by training youth from underserved communities and veterans in a range of tech skills and placing them in quality jobs. In 2013, it rebranded and became independent. Tech Impact is a national workforce training program, but has extensive operations in Delaware and Philadelphia, as well as a training center in Las Vegas. In the last three years, Patrick Callihan has overseen the acquisition of two firms: the Delaware Data Innovation Lab and Message digital marketing agency.
