HackDiversity will be coming to the Tufts Career Fair on Friday, September 27th as well as hosting a couple of information sessions (virtually) in the next few weeks. You can view and register for their sessions on Handshake.
Founded in 2016, Hack.Diversity centers social impact in the future of tech. They partner with organizations to co-design and implement a strategic business priority: tap into the full potential of the talent landscape by shifting toward skills-based evaluation for early-career technical talent to grow with an organization.
The Program follows a model with spring semester workshops and a summer internship in Boston or New York City:
Fellowship: Fellows complete a career development program focused on professional skills development, technical team projects, and industry exposure, culminating in a 40-hour/week paid internship at one of our Host Companies.
Host Company Partnership: In collaboration with Hack.Diversity, companies engage in programming to match with Fellows for internship-to-FTE roles and to co-design systems to drive sustainable transformation within their organizations.
Over 8 program cycles, Hack.Diversity has grown into a movement of belonging in the tech workplace, achieving generational wealth-building impact in Boston and New York City.
