In The Many Wondrous Realities of Jasmine Starr-Kidd, Jasmine is a young woman who uses innovative technology to create a seismic shift in her world and break down barriers that are keeping her from her dreams. NPower and the Command Shift Coalition are doing the same by building the optimal world for women of color in tech and advancing racial and gender equity within the tech workforce.
Tech, as one of the nation’s most prominent, profitable, and fastest growing sectors, can offer women of color jobs that support economic empowerment. Yet, while women of color account for 20% of the U.S. workforce, they represent only 5% of the tech workforce today.
Command Shift, created by NPower, is a national Coalition of corporate, nonprofit, and community leaders advocating for strategies that invest in and inspire the advancement of young women of color in tech careers — with particular focus on women from underrepresented communities and non-traditional pathways.
The Command Shift Coalition is at the beginning of a very important journey. Command Shift is working to diversify the tech industry with a goal to double the number of women of color in tech careers from 5% to 10% over the next decade. The Coalition will accomplish this goal by attracting and inspiring young women of color to explore tech careers, bringing together a dedicated alliance of companies committed to hiring and retaining women of color, and motivating committed partners to help women of color achieve pay equity.
Jasmine’s journey is a reminder of the empowerment that comes from investing in women and girls and providing them with access to opportunities in tech, and STEM as a whole. The Command Shift Coalition and NPower are working to create an industry that not only invites girls like Jasmine, but also advances, compensates, and connects them with more opportunities for growth.
