Our Culture
At Tech Elevator, we have three core values that align, engage and inspire us.
These cultural values establish what we can expect from each other. They are supported by actions from everyone in the company to uphold and cherish—so that the way in which we accomplish our mission is as important, or more, than doing it.
ParticipaTE
We are engaged and take both initiative and responsibility.
We do more than show up: we contribute in a positive, authentic and collaborative way to our work and our community. At Tech Elevator, our success is driven by the combined participation of each and every member of the team.
AppreciaTE
We are passionate about what we do and the people we impact.
Whether that’s a student, a coworker or a community partner, we give respect and empower each other to use our talents to the best of our abilities. And, we show our gratitude in big and small ways.
ElevaTE
We never settle for the status quo.
Whether it’s in the way we are self-motivated or the appetite we have for quality, we are avid learners and innovators, constantly seeking opportunities for improvement. Our desire to be better includes encouraging those around us to lean forward, try new things and elevate each other.
