Inner City Coding Workshops

Code Now Offers Tech Training for Minority Groups in the United States

— June 25, 2015 — Social Good
Code Now's coding workshops are designed to help minority high school groups like females, African Americans and Hispanics find success in the field of tech. According to recent stats, only 18 percent of American Computer Science grads were female while a mere 11 and 9 percent were revealed to be those of African American and Hispanic descent.

Aiming to put an end to this pattern, Code Now offers nation-wide coding workshops that target minorities while giving inner city kinds access to the one-of-a-kind program. In addition to raising the number of female, African American and Hispanic tech professionals and grads, the foundation has also gained presidential praise -- top Code Now students had the opportunity to meet president Obama -- since its 2011 inception.

Breaking barriers, foundations like these encourage tech education among minority groups and aim to change stereotypes that are associated with the industry's related fields.
Trend Themes
1. Minority-specific Tech Training - Offering tech training specifically designed for minorities can increase diversity in the tech industry and provide a disruptive solution to the problem of underrepresented groups in this field.
2. Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives - Creating programs that target disadvantaged groups and encourage diversity can be a strategy for increasing representation and disrupting the homogeneity in the tech industry.
3. Access to Education - Providing education and resources for underserved populations who may not have access to traditional tech education can be a disruptive solution for addressing the lack of diversity in the industry.
Industry Implications
1. Tech Education - The tech education industry can benefit from developing targeted programs that cater to minority groups and increase diversity in the field.
2. Social Impact - The social impact industry can explore ways to promote diversity and inclusion through technology education and training, such as providing scholarships or mentorship opportunities to underrepresented groups.
3. Workforce Development - The workforce development industry can leverage targeted tech education programs to provide opportunities for underprivileged youth, increase access to skilled jobs, and promote economic mobility.
