Or are there challenges at all? Where do the top companies go to find skilled and diverse talent? Where do they "not" look? Are there hidden pipelines out there just waiting to be tapped? Join me, Dr. Dawn Mooney Digrius and my Guest, Dakota Ortiz, Program Lead-Annenberg Tech, Annenberg Foundation as we discuss some of the challenges that we face in the Los Angeles Region in the Technology sector and how partnerships between industry, nonprofits, foundations and academic can contribute to the workforce pipeline, but also provide opportunities for under-represented students majoring in STEM.  Dakota Ortiz, Program Lead-Annenberg Tech, at the Annenberg Foundation, seeks industry-wide participation from the technology sector to engage in philanthropic activity focused on building equity, civic impact, and highways of collaboration across Los Angeles. As stated on their website, "Born from the premise that visionary communications can improve public well-being, the Annenberg Foundation has created AnnenbergTech to explore how the intersection of technology and philanthropy can benefit our city." We welcome Dakota to the show and look forward to hearing more about how Annenberg Tech is working toward positive solutions in our region and how STEM Advantage provides opportunities for under-represented communities through STEM engagement and employment.    00:31:00Pathways to Successno#STEMAdvantage,#TappingthePipeline,#DiversityinSTEMWhy is Diversity Lacking in Tech?

Why? What factors are inhibiting employers in the tech sector in hiring AND retaining diverse talent? As of March 2018, 95% of the tech workforce was still white and 76% of individuals holding technical positions was male. Studies have shown that diversity among teams and among leadership (gender, ethnicity) results in better results in productivity, decision-making, and overall culture. This show will focus on how to find and retain diverse talent, especially in the tech sector, with a discussion by a multi-stakeholder panel of experts and the host, Dr. Dawn Mooney Digrius, Executive Director of STEM Advantage. During our 30 minutes, we will highlight ways to locate, manage, and retain talent, especially the diverse talent you need!   00:31:00Pathways to SuccessnoWorkforce Development,Diversity and Inclusion,STEM Advantage,Talent Acquision,Talent PipelineTapping the Pipeline: How do I retain diverse STEM Talent?e9fb4ad8-ddce-4fed-b296-786a76b7bc2116fullhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/pathwaystosuccess/2018/03/17/opportunity-knocks-how-internships-lead-to-employmentHigher Educationhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/pathwaystosuccess/2018/03/17/opportunity-knocks-how-internships-lead-to-employment/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/pathwaystosuccess/2018/03/17/opportunity-knocks-how-internships-lead-to-employmentSat, 17 Mar 2018 03:00:00 GMTOpportunity Knocks: How Internships lead to Employment!On Educate to Elevate this week, we talk with Lauren Arcinas, an undergraduate student at Washington and Lee University, about the role of internships.
