LatinX Tech Careers

LatinX Product Managers Chapter




Vision

  • We imagine a world where Latinas and Latinos are equally represented in the US tech industry and lead companies to be more inclusive of under-represented communities.
  • A 2018 Brookings Institute study found that while Hispanics represented 16.7% of the US population, Hispanics only represent 6.8% of computer and math technology occupations. Our organization aims to remedy this.


Mission

    • We're a non-profit org. aimed at:
      • Accelerating Latinas / Latinos careers in technology...
      • Coaching the next generation of Latinas and Latinos becoming technologists...
      • Leading and influencing organizations to significantly improve their inclusion and diversity efforts...
