“A community is a group of people who agree to grow together” – Simon Sinek
One of the great things about joining and participating in an online technical community is the value you can gain both personally and professionally. It’s a grand opportunity to give and get – all-the-while you’re growing!
Instant access to knowledge and resources
The IBM TechXchange community topic groups have a range of technologists and developers, along with IBMers with varying levels of expertise. Sometimes you will get some of the best answers and solutions… let alone inspiration to try something new! But most of all, the topic groups help you keep up with industry trends, new tools, frameworks, and some best practices.
Collaboration and networking
Of course, another bonus is connecting with peers (and IBMers) and building relationships with people in your field or with similar interests. You could meet a future collaborator or a teammate for a project, an open-source opportunity, or even a business venture.
Get and give help
Topic groups may also help you trouble-shoot a problem or maybe you might have a great solution to an issue that others haven’t tried! You pay it forward when you share information and you strengthen and lift knowledge by helping others! You also build your reputation as a reliable source of knowledge!
Are you ready to find your topic group and get going?
Here’s an additional bonus! If you are currently active in the IBM TechXchange Community topic groups, you can get started right now by applying for the IBM Rising Champions program, and earn your first set of badges, which will help you begin the pathway to a future IBM Champion nomination.
