Memphis skaters gathered in front of City Hall in

Memphis skaters gathered in front of City Hall in support of Tyre Nichols’ family and their call for justice. For soul to live and thrive here, our community must be able to live here—rightfully, equally, and proudly. We not only stand with Tyre Nichols’ family, but also with those who continue to pursue justice for their loved ones as our community calls for accountability.

"CompTIA’s 2022 State of the Tech Workforce report shows that out of the top 51 tech markets in the US, Memphis has the highest percentage of African-Americans in the tech industry in the country. Equally, Memphis has the country’s highest rate of women in tech. 〽️⁠

As a nonprofit, Tech901 provides affordable training and works with Memphis’ leading businesses to create targeted programming. 🧑‍💻⁠
⁠
2022 impact by the numbers: ⤵️⁠

⁠
Since 2017, our graduates now report 503 lifetime jobs filled, with a starting pay of $55k. This is an astounding statistic, given that 28% of Tech901 students are unemployed when initially enrolled. 📈⁠"⁠
