Beyond our mission to support Apple in the enterprise, Jamf is constantly expanding efforts to bring technology into classrooms around the world, improving learning outcomes and empowering educators and students. In this episode of the Jamf After Dark podcast, hosted by Jamf channel program manager Kat Garbis and director of product strategy Katie English, you’ll hear firsthand accounts of our efforts to enhance K-12 education for learners worldwide. Community education program manager Valeria Tschida and senior program engineer Kelly Watkins Conrad join us for an inspiring and emotionally charged episode you won’t want to miss.
Both of our guests play key roles in Jamf’s Community Education Initiatives team, with experience visiting and assisting in locations in Haiti, Zimbabwe and Afghanistan as well as closer to home in Minnesota.
