Meet Temba. Your curious guide.

01 / Where do I fit in tech?

Start with curiosity.

There’s more
than one way in.

You don’t have to know your job title yet. Start with the kind of problems you enjoy solving.

People & problems

Do you like helping people get unstuck? Look into support, customer success, and the work that connects people with technology.

Systems & details

Curious about how things work together? Explore infrastructure, security, and the systems people rely on every day.

Ideas & experiences

Enjoy making things clearer or easier to use? Get to know design, product, and software development.

These are starting points to explore, not boxes you have to fit into.

02 / How Temba helps

A little direction.
A useful next step.

Build from where you are.

  1. Find your direction

    Understand different paths in tech and connect them with your interests, experience, and the life you want to build.

  2. Build through practice

    Turn a big learning goal into something you can try, understand, and explain. Progress starts with useful practice.

  3. Create more options

    Learn how skills, experience, and relationships can open up possibilities at work and beyond it.

03 / Stories & education

Tech makes more sense
when it feels human.

We’re building a home for practical explanations, relatable stories, and honest conversations about finding your way.
