Ayman Bazaraa, Co-founder & CEO of Sprints, said:
“At Sprints, our mission is to bridge the gap between young people’s skills and market needs. We’ve witnessed remarkable potential in youth who only needed the right opportunity to thrive. Through our partnership with Microsoft, we were able to equip them with the resources to exceed the threshold of their careers. Thousands have gained not only essential tech skills, but also the confidence and opportunities to shape the future they deserve.”
