Addressing Diversity Gaps in the Computing Workforce
In the US, only 26% of the computing workforce are women, with low representation among Asian (6%), Black or African American (3%), and Hispanic or Latine (2%) women.
The AnitaB.org Apprenticeship Pathway Program addresses challenges in access, recruiting, retention, and advancement for these communities, while helping organizations strategically address workforce development needs.
