About the Tour

Join Us in Creating a Lasting Impact Across America

The Empowering Communities Across America Tour is a nationwide initiative designed to bridge the gap between underserved communities and sustainable career opportunities in technology. By partnering with We Connect The Dots (WCTD) and Nebula Academy, sponsors will directly contribute to empowering individuals with the skills, resources, and networks needed to succeed in today's digital economy.

This tour is not just about raising awareness—it’s about creating pathways to success for individuals who may not otherwise have access to these opportunities. We are bringing career education, workforce development resources, and community collaboration to cities across the U.S., equipping individuals with tools to navigate and thrive in the tech industry.
