Journals of Black in Technology - Help Build an Institution

[Troy]

The Journal of Blacks in Technology (JOBIT)  For the past 20 years there has been a growing digital divide that created a competitive disadvantage in the technology industry for blacks. We can no longer ignore the fact that black technology entrepreneurs have a mere 1% success rate for obtaining venture capital. It is time we take real action to increase the presence of black technology professionals who represent only 1% of the workforce at tech giants like Google, Yahoo and many others. It is our responsibility to address the issue of black technology service providers who are missing out on billions of dollars in government or corporate supplier contracts and strategic partnerships. It is our duty to sufficiently prepare and train black students to fill the high-skilled, well-paying technology jobs of the future. And this, my friends, is why I am excited to introduce the Journal of Blacks in Technology.  The Journal of Blacks in Technology (JOBIT) is poised to be the leading authority addressing the growing digital divide that has created a competitive disadvantage for blacks in the technology industry.  The inspiration behind JOBIT occurred at FraserNet's Power Networking Conference when a panel discussion sparked an idea, that idea sparked an action and that action began growing into a movement. JOBIT publisher, Louis McNeil; FraserNet founder, George Fraser; and CEO Space International Founder, Berny Dohrmann collaborated to create what will undoubtedly be a focal point in this complex digital era. JOBIT is not reinventing the wheel, this is not another association to belong to or another place to simply talk about the issues-JOBIT is an authority to help blacks in technology navigate the industry and compete in their field with adequate preparation and a strong network.  Black History Month 2016 will mark an exciting time for blacks in technology.
