We exist to help bridge the growing digital divide by offering practical, hands-on learning opportunities that prepare people for the future of work.

Mission Statement

At the New York Institute of Emerging Technologies, our mission is simple yet powerful: to empower people—especially youth and underrepresented communities—with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in the rapidly evolving world of technology.

We believe that access to quality education in fields like artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, data science, and other emerging technologies should not be a privilege limited to a few. It should be a right shared by all.

As a nonprofit, we are committed to closing the growing technology skills gap that exists across the country. We do this by offering accessible and practical learning opportunities through free or low-cost training sessions, hands-on workshops, community seminars, and online webinars. Our programs are built to meet people where they are—whether they are students just beginning their journey, working adults looking to upskill, or individuals simply curious about the future of technology.

We are more than just an institute. We are a community hub that nurtures curiosity, supports growth, and builds bridges between people and the future of work. By creating safe, inclusive, and collaborative learning spaces, we help individuals gain not just technical expertise, but also the confidence and purpose to make meaningful contributions to their communities and careers.

Our mission is to inspire, educate, and uplift—because we believe that when people are given the right tools, they don’t just learn technology; they change the world.

Vision Statement

We envision a world where every person, regardless of their background, income, or educational history, has the opportunity to explore and excel in the world of emerging technologies.

Our vision is to build a future where learning about artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and other advanced technologies is as common as learning how to read or write—where technical literacy is a foundation for full participation in society.

At the New York Institute of Emerging Technologies, we dream of communities where youth are confident problem-solvers, where working adults are prepared for the jobs of tomorrow, and where families can thrive because they have access to the tools and knowledge that drive today’s economy.

We believe that technology can be a great equalizer—but only if we ensure that its benefits are shared widely and fairly. That is why we are working toward a future where learning opportunities are not limited by zip code, where innovation comes from all corners of society, and where the next great idea can come from anyone.

We want to be more than a place that teaches skills. We want to be a beacon of hope and opportunity—a place where dreams are supported, talents are developed, and futures are transformed. Our vision is about people first. Technology second. And progress for everyone.
