Join us in The BreakLine Arena as our Founder & CEO, Bethany Coates, shares the origin story of BreakLine Education – a company hyper-focused on helping high performing women, people of color, people with disabilities, and veterans pivot into the tech industry.

Bethany’s story is truly one of the pursuit of happiness – a journey in aligning one’s natural gifts, talents, and professional expertise in hopes of altering the course of a societal issue with deeply significant impact – in this case employment outcomes stemming from higher education.

This episode reveals the personal courage, unanticipated allyship and deeply held conviction to stay the course which led to the creation of BreakLine Education. Since it’s inception in 2016, BreakLine Education has built a robust community and positively impacted the lives of over 1,000 BreakLine alumni, helping them find compelling careers at over 50 partner companies within the tech industry – numbers that continue to grow by the day.

As a company, we would be remiss if we did not acknowledge how deeply our BreakLiners, partner companies, and their families have enriched our lives. This inaugural episode is dedicated to you and the amazingly vibrant community you all are actively helping us to build.

We hope you enjoy!
