SEE EVENT DETAILSWhat is Speed Mentoring?
Speed Mentoring is a great way to find a mentor, be a mentor, learn something new, and build your network in tech. Speed mentoring == networking that doesn't suck! Learn from other professiols, share what you know, and make a few friends along the way. :)
We especially seek mentors and mentees in software development and design, QA, data science, product management, and more.
Our SF Speed Mentoring sessions will take place in conjunction with the Tech Jobs Tour SF tour stop at the Grand Theater/Gray Area (Learn more about Tech Jobs Tour, below.) Email [email protected] with any questions.
PHENOMENAL WOMAN POP-UP :: SAN FRANCISCOBrought to you by special guest Meena Harris (@meenaharris), Founder of the Phenomenal Woman Action Campaign
Phenomenal women from across the country, like Viola Davis, Issa Rae, America Ferrera, Lena Dunham, and Valerie Jarrett, have come together to support the Phenomenal Woman Action Campaign, which benefits seven fearless women's organizations.
ABOUT THE PHENOMENAL WOMAN ACTION CAMPAIGN
Inspired by Maya Angelou's Phenomenal Woman poem, the ‘Phenomenal Woman’ t-shirt honors both the women who have been fighting for generations as well as the new wave of activists that are rising up. There are lots of women who've carried us to this point, many of whom have received little recognition, so let’s celebrate their legacy loudly as we push forward.
By wearing this t-shirt, you're raising funds for the critical advocacy work that's being done on the ground by the following organizations: EMERGE AMERICA, EMILY'S LIST, ESSIE JUSTICE GROUP, GIRLS WHO CODE, NARAL PRO-CHOICE AMERICA, PLANNED PARENTHOOD, & THE UNITED STATE OF WOMEN.
About Tech Jobs Tour | San Francisco
At the heart of this tour is a commitment to diversity and economic opportunity for all Americans. This recent election, we saw our country more divided than ever. American talent resides all across the country in red states and blue states. Right now America has over 500,000 open tech jobs - by 2020 this number will grow to over 1.4 million. The demand for qualified tech workers can only be met by reassessing how we qualify candidates as 60% of all new coders, engineers and data scientists are emerging from bootcamps and industry-current vocational schools. We must continue to innovate, empower small businesses and train our future workforce to meet the demands of the market. Our country’s history and future has all been fueled by innovation. We’ve gone from cars to coal to code in less than 100 years.
That’s why we are hitting the road to 50 cities - to help bridge the divide between employers and the American workforce by hosting career fairs, workshops, mentoring, networking and more. This is more than a jobs tour, it’s a listening tour. We will be bringing tech’s biggest innovators to cities across America, to learn, listen and work together to bring economic opportunity and prosperity to all Americans. Our goal is to push the industry towards a higher standard, a technology sector that is representative of the people who live in this country - women, people of color, LGBTQ people, people with disabilities, veterans and more. We believe, together, we can and will change the face of technology to help American workers get the jobs they deserve.
