A workforce development initiative where local students build real technology for local businesses, and together we turn the Lehigh Valley into a tech hub.
Not someday. Not somewhere else. Here.
The talent is already in our classrooms. The need is already in our businesses. What has been missing is the bridge between them.
In Pennsylvania, only 23% of two-year college students complete a paid internship. The ones who do are far more likely to land a job that uses their degree.
JOSHWAY Forward is that bridge.
Young people gain real world experience. Local businesses gain the tools to thrive in a digital age. And our community grows stronger, one project at a time. JOSHWAY is proud to lead the way.
JOSHWAY Forward trains local students to work the way the best tech teams in the world work today.
In the industry, the role is called a forward deployed engineer. It is someone who sits with real customers, listens to what they need, and builds the solution alongside them.
Our junior forward deployed engineers come from colleges and high schools across the Lehigh Valley. They learn to use AI and modern tools with intention, with a human at the center of every decision.
This is more than prompting. This is learning to lead with technology.
You know your business could run smoother. Maybe you need a custom app. Maybe a process that eats hours every week. Maybe a website that finally works for you. JOSHWAY Forward meets you where you are and builds what you actually need.
You want experience that is real, not simulated. Here you work with real clients on real problems, and you walk away with skills, stories, and a portfolio that open doors.
Every project keeps talent local, strengthens a local business, and moves our region one step closer to becoming a tech hub.
