Demand for tech professionals is expected to increase substantially
over the next decade, and increasing the number of women of color
in tech will be critical to building and maintaining a competitive
workforce. Despite years of efforts to increase the diversity of
the tech workforce, women of color have remained underrepresented,
and the numbers of some groups of women of color have even
declined. Even in cases where some groups of women of color may
have higher levels of representation, data show that they still
face significant systemic challenges in advancing to positions of
leadership. Research evidence suggests that structural and social
barriers in tech education, the tech workforce, and in venture
capital investment disproportionately and negatively affect women
of color. Transforming Trajectories for Women of Color in Tech uses
current research as well as information obtained through four
public information-gathering workshops to provide recommendations
to a broad set of stakeholders within the tech ecosystem for
increasing recruitment, retention, and advancement of women of
color. This report identifies gaps in existing research that
obscure the nature of challenges faced by women of color in tech,
addresses systemic issues that negatively affect outcomes for women
of color in tech, and provides guidance for transforming existing
systems and implementing evidence-based policies and practices to
increase the success of women of color in tech. Table of Contents
