The tech industry is fast-paced and constantly changing. One of the emerging changes is that tech companies are looking to hire a more diverse set of talent. But in a world where training and educational opportunities are still limited for people of color, how do we make these opportunities more accessible? Today, Kasheef Wyzard is here to tell us about Dream.org and its mission to connect people of color with opportunities in the tech field. This week, episode 159 of the Tech Intersect™ Podcast is about making tech opportunities accessible to people of color!

Kasheef Wyzard is the National Director of Dream.Org. As a first-generation American born to parents of Caribbean descent, Kasheef attributes the alignment of his career and purpose to interventions and exposure to educational resources far outside of the community that raised him. With such a dichotomy between the two worlds he grew to know, an unshakeable commitment to be on the frontline of change was born.
Some of the talking points Kasheef and I go over in this episode include:
- How access is linked to opportunities in tech.
- Kasheef’s work with Fortune 500 companies to diversify their talent base.
- Getting into opportunities while the tides are low versus when the tides are rising.
- How Dream.org prepares people to rescale, upskill, and pivot their careers.
