Comcast Awards Over $25M to Digital Skills Organizations, Creating a More Inclusive Workforce and Economy - Seite 2

Comcast's grant to frontline, partner organizations will help increase college and career readiness, especially among underserved youth; connect workers to opportunities; provide upskilling for adult learners and those already in the workforce; and close the skills - particularly digital skills - gap. This funding will support programs and partnerships driving impact nationwide in 2023.

"To excel in the tech industry, it is not enough to simply have a degree," noted Michel Ellison, CEO and Co-Founder of CodePath. "Graduates must navigate a complex, competitive industry, build a background of career-specific experience, and establish tech excellence. As leaders, it is incumbent on us to help guide our future tech talent through all of this and more. With partners like Comcast, we will successfully establish the connections and tools necessary for our future creators, problem solvers and innovators."

Through intentional investment in organizations deeply rooted in local communities across the country, Comcast's investment will drive change needed to achieve lasting, generational impact. Specifically, funding will go toward the following focus areas and more than 200 organizations, including:

Increasing College and Career-Readiness

• American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) - Comcast is supporting the Next Generation of Indigenous Coders program, which prepares students for computer science degrees and careers across all industries.
• Genesys Works - Funding will help enable the expansion of a program connecting underserved high school students to paid internships with major companies, reaching 1,900 students and more than 2,100 alumni.
• The Hidden Genius Project - With support from Comcast, Hidden Genius will engage 1,200 youth of color in programming and 200 high school students in an intensive immersion program, 98 percent of whom will graduate high school and 90 percent of whom will enroll in post-secondary education.

Building College to Career Opportunities

• CodePath - Comcast is helping provide the tools and connections college computer science students need to unlock their greatest career potential, enabling CodePath to scale its work to serve 10,000 students per year - 70% of whom identify as Black, Latino/a, Indigenous, first generation, and/or low-income - at approximately 70 institutions of higher education.
• Reboot Representation Tech Coalition - Together with other companies, Comcast has set out to double the number of Black, Latina and Native American women receiving computing degrees by 2025 and increase their representation in the tech workforce.
