Paving a Path for Women in Technology
It’s no secret that women are underrepresented in the tech industry – and we think it’s time to change that. Here are just a couple of ways we can help you prepare to break into this dynamic field.
Women+Tech Scholarship
We’re awarding up to $10 million in scholarships to help women like you close the opportunity gap in tech. Our Women+Tech Scholarship provides qualifying female students enrolled in an eligible Engineering and Information Sciences (EIS) undergraduate program up to $1,500 per semester in scholarship awards.
Women+Tech Scholars Program
Our Women+Tech Scholars Program is designed to help qualifying female students immerse themselves in the tech industry with early access to internships, job opportunities, a mentor cohort and more.
Change the Future of Tech as a Hispanic Professional
Join like-minded Hispanic, Latino, Latina and LatinX students in our NextGen Hispanic Scholars Program and become a part of a growing community of peers, mentors and professors who are ready to make waves in the tech industry.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Courses
We all have dimensions of diversity that make us unique, and commonalities that connect us. As we work to build a sense of belonging and break down barriers, it’s important to continuously evolve our knowledge and views on diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I).
Our suite of courses focuses on critical topics impacting the business world, such as intercultural communication and DE&I in the workplace. These courses can be completed as electives for qualifying programs or taken on their own.
Are you ready to change the dynamics in your workplace?
