This workshop will provide an opportunity to share research and lessons from programs and policies aiming to bridge the digital skills gap among non-STEM graduates and create inclusive organizations that empower diverse talent. In particular, the workshop will focus on identifying obstacles and opportunities at various levels (societal, organizational, and individual) that shape the experience of women and other equity-deserving groups in technology. The discussion will contribute to an examination of different definitions of expertise, focusing on building broader understandings that are more inclusive of diverse ways of thinking and diverse worldviews. This focus will help address the hybrid skill sets needed to solve our toughest problems.
