CREATE ·2024 Grants ChallengeLA’s Tech Opportunity Pipeline
In the past decade, Los Angeles (LA) has emerged as a vibrant tech hub, yet its workforce lacks diversity, particularly among women, people of color, and opportunity youth including those from foster care, housing insecurity, and undocumented backgrounds. LA-Tech.org seeks to partner with LA2050 to significantly scale efforts, aiming to connect 300 young people from these groups to tech careers by 2025. Our innovative program will expand support networks and access to tech opportunities, fostering equitable representation through paid work.
