Diversity and Gender Equality Could Solve Tech's Talent Gap

By recent estimate, there will soon be roughly one million open jobs in the tech industry. The existing labor pool can only handle about half that amount. It's a looming crisis – and one that could potentially be resolved through equality and diversity initiatives.

On this episode, she explains how Dell brings together technology and training to overcome bias, promote equal hiring and equal pay practices, and build a strong and diverse workforce.
