1. Black Professionals hold only 3 - 7% of tech jobs in US & Canada.
2. Women hold only 25% of tech jobs and C-suite positions globally.
3. Newcomers to US & Canada typically move 1 - 3 positions down in their careers.

These worrying statistics motivated us to start SkillHat. Our goal was to ensure more women and black professionals landed high-paying roles in tech, doubled their income and got more fulfilment from their jobs.

it's been 3 years and so far, our alumni have now reached over $20 Million in annual income, with over 200 of them landing 6 figure jobs ($100K + salary)!

Isn't that amazing?

Don’t make the same mistake everyone else is making with tunnel vision.

In a tough job market, it’s crucial to be an expert in one area, while having a good understanding of other supporting fields. This is because employers are looking for people who can wear multiple hats and think through solutions creatively.

Take, for example, one of the community members, Ijeoma (pictured below).

Ijeoma had substantial of Project Management experience from top Nigerian tech companies like Interswitch Group. As a newcomer to Canada, she knew she needed to stand out. She invested in understanding Canadian users and designing product experiences.

She applied to SkillHat’s Product Design (UI/UX) bootcamp and earned a $10K scholarship into the program. Shortly after becoming certified as a Designer, she landed a position as a Project Manager in a Canadian Design Agency!

With AI and robotics taking over many tasks, the most vital skills today are creativity and empathy—the ability to understand the true needs of others and identify viable solutions.

To build your creativity, you need to expose yourself to different environments, fields, and ways of thinking. Never stop learning. Never stop networking. Never stop building.

I hope Ijeoma’s story inspires you to keep pushing your limits.
