Skillz Academy is an 8 - week, intensive, training program that is designed to recruit, train and place individuals in business-oriented roles in technology companies. Our program targets individuals that are traditionally underrepresented in the technology industry including women, minorities, and people from low income communities. 

Our first program is a Software Sales Training program that trains individuals for entry level positions in sales, customer success, and customer support. In doing so, we will also address the lack of racial, economic and gender diversity in the tech industry which remains one of the least racially or economically diverse industries in the United States. As the technology industry continues to grow, there is an ever increasing need for business-oriented technology roles to support the sale and distribution of technology products and services. Unfortunately, many of the women and minorities that would be great candidates for these jobs often lack the training to compete for jobs in high growth industries like tech. Since our existing educational infrastructure is ill-equipped to fulfill this growing demand, our goal at Skillz Academy is to fill this gap by providing employers with a group of well trained and diverse candidates who are excited to launch a career in tech.
