In the first part of this three-part article, we examined the “tech diversity” problem, highlighting the technology sector’s startlingly lack of diversity and its especially abysmal track record of recruiting and hiring Black and Latino workers.Part two of this series examined some of the solutions currently being explored in the technology sector and the education system. Beyond concluding that we are a long way from achieving tech diversity, these posts emphasized that no single solution will make the technology sector more diverse. Indeed, as explored in the second part of this series, tech diversity can only be addressed by taking a multi-tiered approach. While educational interventions and experiments in non-biased hiring (e.g., using algorithms not people to recruit new employees) may be part of the solution, they are by no means the sole answer. In our final post, we explore why on the job training and onboarding strategies still matter and may prove to be the most important factors in solving the tech diversity challenge.
