WELEADTECH
Their Need
The racial and cultural diversity imbalance in the tech professions results from structural and cultural issues that are incompatible with the values of the tech industry – innovation, creativity, and diversity of thought. Hiring individuals who do not look, talk, or think like their employers enables organizations to avoid costly pitfalls of conformity and results in more innovative thinking.
This awareness and the actions taken based on new perspectives can lead to incredible growth in HR satisfaction levels, productivity, corporate culture improvements, and result in more successful, profitable, stable organizations.
New Pilot Project
One In Tech recently partnered with ISACA and City Colleges of Chicago in a Cybersecurity Training Pilot designed to build the workforce in the field. See our full report on how collaborations are providing solutions!
Our Focus
WeLeadTech provides cybersecurity training and career pipelining for under-represented people and serves as a support system for corporations working toward building diverse workforce, resulting which not only helps close the skills gap but also makes good business sense. Utilizing ISACA’s CSX Training platform, CSX Fundamentals program, and other outside programming, we will train and support those who lack access to such programs and educational opportunities. WeLeadTech includes mentorship, soft skills training, career guidance, and connection to potential employment in its programming. A cohort model will supplement the in-class and/or on-line training program to encourage participants to work together and support each other throughout their training and beyond.

Our Initiatives
Participants
WeLeadTech provides career training and resources for adults who are under-resourced in areas of economics, access, educational level, race, and culture.
In a collaborative model, WeLeadTech provides the under-served, under-represented populations with pipelines for career entry and growth. The programs are designed to tackle the barriers that exclude minority populations from IT careers based on biases, corporate processes, and systemic inequities.
Stay tuned for upcoming collaborations and opportunities!
