“Niantic is committed to increasing access to talent from women, racial minorities, and other historically marginalized groups by building the talent pipeline. We know that we can't recruit our way out of the problem of underrepresentation, so we seek ways to help those who are interested develop the skills they need to thrive at Niantic and in tech.”

Jyarland Daniels,
Director of Diversity and Inclusion

“Building a diverse workforce requires reimagining the way we go about recruiting. This bootcamp program is a great initiative to get people started in technical roles without having a background in tech. In addition to building a solid theoretical foundation, the students receive invaluable hands-on coding experience that sets them up for professional success. The program graduates who have joined Niantic for a six month apprenticeship have demonstrated a great capability to quickly ramp up and continue to grow by helping solve real life technical challenges.”
