City of Refuge will host the classes in its space and provide lunches to the students on Saturdays, and Inspiredu will outfit the group with laptops to use throughout the program. The president of the Blacks in Technology (BIT) Atlanta Chapter will be teaching the courses, and ISACA’s People and Culture team will be providing students with a job fair and professional development sessions on resume writing and interviewing skills. 
 The partnership between BIT Atlanta, ISACA and ISACA’s One In Tech foundation underscores a shared commitment to promoting diversity, inclusion, and equitable access to technology education and certifications. By bridging the digital divide, this collaboration seeks to empower individuals from underserved communities in Atlanta with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in emerging technology fields. 
 “We believe that diversity and inclusion are the cornerstones of innovation,” said Meloni Boatswain, Atlanta Chapter President of BIT and CET Instructor. “This partnership embodies our collective commitment to creating a level playing field, enabling individuals from diverse backgrounds to thrive and excel in the technology industry.” 
 This collaboration aims to enable underserved communities to thrive in the rapidly evolving technology landscape by earning CET certifications. BIT has over 27,000 members, with more than 70 chapters in 27 countries and counting, and is the largest organization for Black technologists in the world. BIT Atlanta is the largest BIT chapter within North America, with over 2,000 members. 
 The CET certification allows for mastery of key emerging technologies with courses including ISACA’s Cloud Fundamentals, Blockchain Fundamentals, Internet of Things (IoT) Fundamentals and Artificial Intelligence (AI) Fundamentals certificates. These help demonstrate knowledge to potential future employers and open up new career pathways. 
 “Digital trust roles, whether in audit, cybersecurity or other areas, contribute to driving digital transformation forward and building confidence in the integrity of key elements of organizations’ digital ecosystems,” says Ajay Barot, ISACA Chief of Staff. “Enterprises across all industries need qualified professionals to fill these essential jobs, and we are committed to preparing the workforce of the future by providing them with education, credentials and a supportive community.” 
 Additionally, the One In Tech foundation will offer continuing education stipends for participants to continue to enhance their learning, providing participants no-cost ISACA student membership and resources that will support their trajectories through training, placement, and career development. 
 This project aligns to the mission of ISACA’s academic and workforce development arm to drive impact in communities and support the next generation of learners who are looking to reskill/upskill, as well as with One In Tech’s diversity, equity and inclusion-focused mission to provide underrepresented learners from both youth and adult communities a pathway to enter the IT workforce.

 “There are systemic barriers that can keep people from accessing paths to digital trust roles, particularly those from underserved communities,” says Chloe Miller, One In Tech program manager. “We believe that everyone deserves the chance to pursue these career opportunities, and that having a diverse and inclusive workforce from a range of backgrounds in these professions only makes those teams and organizations stronger.”
