Upcoming Webinar: Technology Should Empower You

Webinar

We’re thrilled to announce our upcoming webinar titled, “Technology Should Empower You” on Wednesday, January 26, 2022 from 11:00 – 11:30 am PST. Varsity Founder and CEO, Patrick Ciccarelli, will be discussing the “why” and “what” of technology, while also talking specifically about how technology can help remote work happen collaboratively. Patrick will combine recent trends along with his personal experiences to explain the philosophy to leveraging IT solutions that will empower you and your organization. You don’t want to miss it!

Our Story

The “why” behind technology is one of the most important things to Varsity. In the early 1990’s, Patrick Ciccarelli uncovered an opportunity to help children learn by bringing technology into the classroom. He saw first-hand how technology changed his students’ relationship to learning — they were excited, engaged, and motivated. Patrick was so inspired that he created a program called the Cisco Networking Academy at San Francisco State University. The program helped students prepare for careers in the IT industry. Students who may not have considered IT were able to begin long-lasting careers throughout the Silicon Valley.

Patrick understands the value of technology and education working synergistically to empower others, which is why he founded Varsity. He said, “I took my teaching skills and applied it to understanding the customer and their needs. The customers also wanted to understand the why and what of technology. They craved clarity and to be empowered to do better for their organization. So, I created a model that focused on education first, not selling.” Under this defining goal, Varsity helps create social impact through the strategic use of technology.
