The Early Career Accelerator Program is a cohort program geared towards Black and Latinx professionals in the beginnings of their tech career. Individuals will receive socio-emotional, professional, and management development through in-person workshops, mentorship and coaching, and online engagement. In this program, we’ll build community, make space to commiserate, and most importantly: find tactical solutions to the roadblocks we face in our workplaces. Our goal is to ensure that our communities are able to go beyond surviving in the workplace and thrive.

Code2040 is excited to make its official debut in the Big Apple and bring together a diverse community of folks who are passionate about making the innovation and technology industry more accessible to Black and Latinx communities. With the launch of our very first NYC Fellows cohort, we will kick off the summer with a community celebration hosted by our friends at Meetup on their rooftop terrace.

Whether you are a Black or Latinx technologist or an ally committed to diversity and inclusion, join us and other like-minded folks for an evening of delicious FOOD, DRINKS and MUSIC. This will be a great opportunity to learn about us, our Fellows program, and how you can get involved in supporting our critical work.

Introducing Code2040 PopUps! This new event series will provide more opportunities for our community to come together for the advancement of Black/Latinx brilliance in tech.

There’s no shortage of career-focused events in the Bay Area, nor is there a shortage of events focused on discussing diversity. But there are few events that focus on the unique challenges that Black and Latinx techies face while navigating their careers. Unconscious bias and structural racism create invisible barriers, unique hoops, and often unforeseen ceilings for Black and Latinx professionals. Thankfully, those who came before us have experienced these challenges, faced uncertainty in their careers, and climbed the ladder.

The theme of the inaugural Code2040 PopUp is “Getting Ahead.” Join us for stories and strategies about keeping skills up to date, deciding when to leave or join a company, taking financial risks and planning for financial uncertainty, developing sponsorship and strategic self-advocacy, and more.

How do you negotiate a raise or a promotion? How do you assess your skills and create a support system that helps you grow? When is it time to pivot to a new career, new company, or to start something of your own? We’ll discuss these topics and more at Code2040’s first ever PopUp!

Food & drinks will be provided.

This is a FREE event. RSVP to save your spot!
