As America's tech sector continues to grow, people of color hold less than 10 percent of tech jobs, a distribution that doesn't reflect our nation. As Casa del Saber continues to strengthen its presence across the country, the need for advanced training in digital technologies will become clearer and more critical.

TKH members' experiences include college dropouts, trade schools, career paths, CUNY students, and more. TKH provides comprehensive training and support including scholarships, career development, technical development and on-the-job training.
