Google officially launched an initiative last week to provide 100,000 Black women with career development and digital skills training by 2022.
The Grow With Google partnership will team Google with six organizations including four National Panhellenic Sororities: Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Sigma Theta, Sigma Gamma Rho, and Zeta Phi Beta.
The tech giant will work with the sororities as well as Dress For Success and The Links to offer leadership development and digital skills training to support Black women.
“Google is proud to stand with Dress for Success, the Links, and four of the National Panhellenic Sororities to help more Black women get access to the digital skills and career development needed to enter today’s most in-demand jobs,” Melonie Parker, Chief Diversity Officer for Google said in a release.
