Here’s what Roy Vallee and a few of our previous sponsors have to say:
“This is one of our most successful signature events - a partnership between technology businesses and the education community. I encourage any company interested in supporting the future of technology to get involved in this award-winning event and be inspired by these students.” – Roy Vallee, Chairman and CEO, Avnet
“It was really an exciting event and I’m pleased that Freescale’s sponsorship was able to help so many students. As a judge, I watched the light bulbs go off over students’ heads as they applied what they’d learned to real world scenarios. I wish I’d had something like the Avnet Tech Games when I was first starting out.” – Shaun Neddermeyer, Freescale
“At the Avnet Tech Games awards ceremony, I approached one of the students I’d observed during the competition, gave him my business card and told him that I had a job for him after he graduates. It wasn’t an internship or a job interview I was offering him. I was so impressed with his capabilities that I’m ready to hire him on the spot.” – Steven Roberts, Partner, New Angle Media
“The Avnet Tech Games was created so that businesses, like Avnet and STMicroelectronics, can come together in support of students looking for a career in the high-tech industry. And, for me, it was exciting to get a sneak peek at our future employees.” – Joan Eisenhauer, STMicroelectronics
