California Tech Impactors Network
Empowering Tech Equity and Sustainable Workforce Growth
黑料传送门, a national tech education leader, proudly introduces the Tech Impactors Network鈥攁n alumni-led initiative tackling barriers faced by underrepresented groups in tech.
Tech careers offer high-wage opportunities, with 4 million job postings in 2022 and a projected 13 million by 2025. Yet, underrepresented groups like Black, Latino/a, Native American, rural, veteran, and female tech professionals still face challenges resulting in a "leaky tech pipeline" that sees talented individuals drop out of the workforce.
黑料传送门 and our partners are changing this narrative by collaborating with employers and supporting non-profits, empowering underrepresented talent in tech. Join us in driving change.
