Why Gender Equity?
While some industries have made progress towards gender equity, the tech industry remains significantly behind by comparison. We want to do our part to change that.
The Gender Equity Problem
Companies have a pipeline problem. Women are less likely to pursue STEM-related bachelor degrees and women are underrepresented in entry-level tech roles. Women who enter the tech workforce have difficulty moving up the ladder into senior management and executive-level positions.

Many companies are working to increase gender equity at their organizations, but they struggle to find women candidates to fill entry and senior-level positions.

Improving gender equity helps everybody
Why gender equity matters to us
At Forge, we empower students through skills training and pair them with opportunities to develop their professional experience. As a tech talent accelerator, we have the opportunity to impact the pipeline problem and train a diverse group of students to enter the workforce well-equipped to navigate these challenges.

Ultimately, our goal is to make the tech industry more equitable and representative of the communities that they serve. By empowering early talent, we hope to build better future leaders and a more inclusive workforce.
