Learning Alliance and T-Mobile Celebrate the First Year of the NextTech Diversity Program
The program provides career training and placement within the telecommunications industry
TAMPA, Fla. — Learning Alliance Corp., in partnership with T-Mobile, shared highlights from the first year of the NextTech Diversity Program. Launched in 2021, the NextTech Diversity Program provides career training and placement for hundreds of diverse candidates to take on meaningful employment within the telecommunications industry.
The goal of the NextTech Diversity Program is to increase diversity, equality, and inclusion across the telecom industry by investing in the recruitment, training, certification, and job placement of minorities and women. Today, people of color comprise a disproportionately small percentage of all network technicians and field crews. Meanwhile, the 5G revolution is expected to create an estimated 20,000 new jobs to help build the network infrastructure. The NextTech Diversity Program creates a productive bridge between both of these realities: an industry that requires thousands of new workers and a workforce that must be made more diverse.
