Did you know…?

A 2020 report from McKinsey found that diverse companies perform better, hire better talent, have a more engaged employee base, resulting in better employee retention.

Diversity can drive retention, resulting in significant savings for your company; employees are 5.4 times more likely to stay at their company if the workplace is diverse.

Companies in the top quartile for racial and ethnic diversity are 30% more likely to perform above the mean in their industry.

“This program is not easy for those who participate. It takes courage, grit, and perseverance to be successful and come out on the otherside as software engineers.”
