It’s no secret that women are vastly underrepresented in the tech sector. While women make up 57% of the professional workforce, they hold only 26% of professional computing jobs. That number is significantly lower for women of color: Black women make up 3% of the computing workforce, and Latina women only 1%. Underrepresentation in tech is a complex, systemic problem, and no one company or organization can solve these issues alone. Enter: the Reboot Representation Tech Coalition.

Working in the technology sector comes with plenty of perks, from higher wages to opportunities for upward growth. But breaking into the tech industry isn’t always straightforward. Specialized jobs that come with higher pay and better benefits are typically only available for those who can afford the training and skills required to make it in the industry.

Better job opportunities are life-changing, but the lack of accessible job training and placement opportunities can make landing the right opportunity very difficult, if not even impossible at times. Generation is an economic mobility nonprofit working to prepare, place, and support people into life-changing careers that would otherwise be inaccessible.
