One million jobs for Black Americans

By creating opportunity at the educational level and creating experiences for Black and URM students organizations can help drive racial equity and representation in the marketplace. IBM continues to invest in skills and re-skilling to make the digital era more inclusive. Our @Pathways in Technology (P-TECH) the pioneering high-school, career-readiness education model helps strengthen regional economies and underserved populations with a workforce better prepared for "new collar" jobs -- skilled, tech positions that don't necessarily require a traditional, four-year college degree. Our connection to social justice is JOBS. As a leader in this space, IBM is a proud founding member of the OneTen coalition. OneTen will work with employers, education and training partners to design educational and employment solutions to better develop, retain and advance diverse and under-represented talent, with an explicit commitment to hire or promote 1M Black Americans without four-year degrees over the next 10 years. https://ibm.biz/Bdfcpf #InclusiveIBM #newcollar #jobs

Creating 1 Million Jobs for Black Americans Over the Next 10 Years Today, Target announced our role as a founding member of #OneTen, a new coalition of 37 companies combining forces to train, hire and advance 1 million Black Americans without a four-year college degree into family-sustaining jobs with opportunities for advancement over the next 10 years. We’ll also make a financial contribution to OneTen and create new sustainable jobs over the next three to four years, with opportunities to continue building their careers inside Target and beyond with other OneTen members. The commitment supports our work to help create lasting change and meaningful impact for Black team members and guests, a strategy and set of goals we announced through our Racial Equity Action and Change (REACH) committee last September.

Corporations definitely need to normalize having Black people in the workspace. My first tech Job was a computer engineering internship at Hewlett Packard when I was 17. I was one of three women out of 800 engineers (I studied engineering in college). There were at least 10 black men, but I think we all would have benefited from more. This not only helps with retention, but it also helps with diversity of thought and enabling more people access to Black friends :) Follow the 130,000+ who follow Dr. Roshawnna Novellus (she/her), CEO EnrichHER Read More: https://lnkd.in/ev-8fvf

In the US there is a massive lack of Black representation in middle and upper management. OneTen Coalition aims to change that. Has your company looked around the table to see who isn't included? Article in comments. #inclusiveleadership #diversity

I always say diversity is a reality, equity is a choice, inclusion is an act, and belonging is the result. Kenneth I. Chenault & CEOs launch #OneTen to hire 1,000,000 Black Americans. That's #Inclusionism https://lnkd.in/gcqXAP9
