On November 15, 2022, from 6:00 pm- 7:30 pm, we convened for our Latinx Speaker Series! This series focused on “How to Get Hired in Silicon Valley” by featuring a Tech recruiter panel from Micron Technology and Netflix!
Although Latinos represent 28% of the total population in Silicon Valley, only 3% of the high-tech workforce is Latino, and our mission is to change that. Through this event, attendees gained insight from recruiters from several tech companies in Silicon Valley about best practices during their job search.
