The Muslim Association Puget Sound (MAPS) and Skillspire is proud to announce the launch of the Pathway to Tech (PAT) Project, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at fostering opportunities in STEM careers and technical education. With a generous funding request of $850,000, the PAT Project is set to bridge the gap between underrepresented communities and the burgeoning tech industry. In collaboration with Congressional sponsor, Senator Patty Murray, the PAT Project seeks to equip individuals with the necessary skills and knowledge to thrive in technology-driven fields. This initiative represents a significant step towards inclusive excellence in STEM education, ensuring that opportunities for advancement are accessible to all. Empowering Future Technology Leaders The PAT Project is designed to address the critical shortage of skilled professionals in the tech industry by providing comprehensive education and career support. Through targeted training programs and hands-on learning experiences, participants will gain invaluable insights into the ever-evolving landscape of technology. Key components of the project include: · Assessment and Enrollment: 152 students will be selected to participate in Skillspire’s IT and Technology certification courses. · Tuition Assistance and Support: Participants will receive financial support to cover majority of tuition costs, ensuring that financial barriers do not hinder their educational pursuits. · Career Placement Assistance: Upon completion of the program, participants are anticipated to successfully transition into tech roles, with full support provided for career placement and advancement. A Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion The PAT Project underscores MAPS’s and Skillspire's commitment to promoting diversity and inclusion within the tech sector. By creating pathways for underrepresented individuals to enter and excel in STEM careers, the initiative aims to cultivate a more diverse and innovative workforce. Special thanks to Senator Patty Murray, Dr. Marjan D., Megan Utemei for all their help and support! https://lnkd.in/eJvdrP4T #techeducation #codingbootcamp #underservedcommunities #communityproject

🌐 The search for talent in the field of HPC has never been easy, but how can we inspire the next generation to join in? A growing competition is working to solve just that problem! 💡 Our Women in High Performance Computing (WHPC) and Alces Flight Ltd collaboration - Move the Needle - recently sat down with Dan Olds of Intersect360 Research to discuss how we can expand education and inspiration in supercomputing. Four years ago, Dan had an idea which evolved into the Winter Classic Invitational Student Cluster Competition (aka "The Winter Classic"). This competition offers talented individuals from historically black and Hispanic colleges in the USA the chance to work with some of the most powerful supercomputers in the world! Dan, a long-time student cluster competition champion, aimed to leverage and transform his knowledge to inspire the next generation of HPC. With the support of Intersect360 Research, community leaders, and sponsors, the Winter Classic has evolved into one of the most exciting, equitable, and impactful competitions in HPC to date. I was particularly delighted by Dan's choices in challenge design, focusing on providing students with a complete experience, regardless of whether they stay within HPC or not! Read all about his take on using knowledge to increase diversity and inclusion here: https://lnkd.in/ed3TJdN8 And here's the thrilling part - there's a Part TWO coming! Addison Snell has kindly agreed to share more about how the Winter Classic continues to develop and make a positive impact on education and our community! Massive thanks to Dan for his time, and to Dominik Wojtak, who brilliantly edited our conversation into a magnificent piece of writing. #HPC #supercomputing #diversity #inclusion #blackintech #hispanicintech #nextgentech #education #outreach #students #competition #computerscience 🚀

While we frequently celebrate Utah hitting the top of "Best of" lists - did you know it's among the 👉worst ranked👈 states in the US for women’s equality? One reason is missed opportunities in preparing female students for high-wage STEM careers. A new YouScience report, published in partnership with Cydni Tetro and her team at Women Tech Council, analyzed data from over 21K Utah female students. Findings show strong aptitudes for STEM careers, but a lack of exposure, representation, and resources. The report suggests solutions like aptitude-powered education and female-centered mentorship. This is a must-read for educators, the tech community and business leaders. 👇 Download the report https://lnkd.in/gHaqYCBA

Happy 100th birthday to WNYC Radio. Thank you for a century of informing, inspiring, and connecting our community. Here's to many more years of excellent programming and meaningful conversations. #wnyc100 #publicradio #CentennialCelebration Rashid Ferrod Davis: 'No Such Thing as Too Hard' https://lnkd.in/emiwmNYm #weareptech #skillsbuild #skillsfirst #skills2030 MDRC P-TECH 9-14 Pathways to Success Implementation, Impact, and Cost Findings from the New York City P-TECH 9-14 Schools Evaluation "By the end of the first year of postsecondary education, 2.6 percent of female and 1.8 percent of male P-TECH 9-14 students had earned degrees, compared with virtually no students from the comparison group, of either gender. These impacts for both genders are statistically significant". "Male students who had the chance to attend P-TECH 9-14 schools were more likely to attain college degrees than male students assigned to other kinds of schools". https://lnkd.in/eQBKPNsA Pathways in Technology Early College High School PTECH Brooklyn HS Alumni Network NYC Department of Education The City University of New York City Tech, CUNY IBM IBM iX New York State Education Department The State University of New York

Today we are eagerly reading the Diversity in STEM review conducted by the office of Ed Husic MP and Katy Gallagher by Dr Parwinder Kaur, MAICD Sally-Ann Williams FTSE and Mikaela Jade FTSE (three of the coolest women in STEM that we know!). Lots of value in there - 146 pages worth! We are looking forward to seeing what the future holds in the tech space. Don't forget, investing in diversity could add up to $1.6 BILLION per year according to the ACS (Australian Computer Society) Digital Pulse report. In this current economy, we can't even imagine what an injection that huge could do. https://lnkd.in/gmqMTisE
