YOU BELONG! BUILD A REWARDING AND SUSTAINABLE CAREER IN TECH!
Tech industry jobs are growing fast, offering great pay, career growth and learning opportunities. Women of color, sadly, have not been able to fully participate in this boom.
There are many misconceptions about the tech industry. Misconceptions can often discourage women of color from pursuing or remaining in tech careers. For example, misconceptions like "tech careers are all about coding" or "there's no diversity in tech." In reality, tech career opportunities can be diverse, fun, and incredibly dynamic.
While there are barriers to overcome, Women of Color in Tech is an indispensable resource for building a rewarding future in tech. Packed with inspiring stories and practical advice, this book shows you how to uncover the resources you need to succeed.
This practical guide will help you develop the blend of knowledge and skills needed for getting into tech--and staying there. Author Susanne Tedrick understands that, for a variety of reasons, young women of color are underrepresented in tech and may not have access to strong support networks or resources to be successful. Using her own experiences transitioning into tech, Susanne offers you real-world guidance on finding knowledgeable mentors, learning the latest industry trends, cultivating strong relationships and more.
If you're thinking about going into tech, or you want to take your current career to the next level, Women of Color in Tech will help you build a blueprint for a successful career.
