For Employers

While it is important to respectfully acknowledge the Indigenous peoples who have lived on and cared for the land we live on, land acknowledgements need to be combined with meaningful action.

​

One of the ways we can take meaningful action is by providing opportunities and pathways for Native Americans to enter and advance in the tech industry.

​

The Native American and Alaska Native community faces a severe underrepresentation in the engineering workforce, accounting for only 0.3% (National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering report) despite making up 2.9% of the U.S population, 6.34% of Arizona’s population and 21.86% of Alaska’s population (U.S Census Bureau). When this gap is addressed, the resulting diversity will not only lead to increased innovation and profitability for the tech industry, but will also help create technology solutions that address the needs and challenges of the indigenous community.
 

To unravel the systemic and structural injustices of the past and present, we need to create systemic and structural opportunities. 

​

As an employer, will you join us in bringing about the necessary structural changes and create opportunities and pathways for indigenous young adults?
