The data is out, and it’s not pretty. Despite more awareness and billions invested, tech companies aren’t seeing the diversity needle move.
Enter code schools: an industry born out of the demand for developers. The accelerated learning model attracts aspiring devs from all backgrounds, creating a bigger and more diverse talent pool—faster.
But are all programs created equal? Will they really produce the skill level and diversity that you need?
In this open forum, leaders from Expedia, Zillow, Substantial, and others will share their challenges and successes in attracting diverse talent—from expanding their pipeline to vetting nontraditional candidates to leveraging the unique backgrounds of new hires.
Bring your questions to companies who have been there—and lived to tell the tale.
