MIT Emerging Talent (formerly MIT ReACT)

We’re Officially LIVE with the Foundations Track Program! 🎉 Back in October, we opened applications for this pilot initiative leading into the 6th Emerging Talent Certificate in Computer and Data Science—and WOW, what a response! We’re humbled to have received 8,700 applications from 125 countries 🌍. This record-breaking number is a testament to how much opportunities like these are needed for displaced communities and underrepresented talent. After a detailed review of knowledge check grades, math scores, written responses, videos, and backgrounds, we’re thrilled to welcome 320 learners to this two-month program! As the program kicks off, we’ve already held Personal Agency workshops and introduced learners to computer and data science fundamentals. Over the next two months, participants will dive into: ✨ Technical skills ✨ Soft skills development ✨ Mentorship ✨ Global networking opportunities For those who weren’t selected this time: 💡 You can still access MIT’s open-source educational content to continue your learning journey. MIT OpenCourseWare / MITx Courses This program is an initiative by the MIT Jameel World Education Lab and MIT Open Learning, where we’re building a future full of opportunity for talented individuals all around the world. Congrats to our new learners! 💪🌍

Today was the launch of the new MIT Emerging Talent (formerly MIT ReACT) Talent cohort. We are so immensely proud of these students. We have students from 🇵🇸 #Gaza and 🇱🇧 #Lebanon displaced by the war there. We had students from 🇦🇫 #Afghanistan, 🇸🇩 #Sudan, 🇺🇦 #Ukraine, displaced by war as well. All talented and committed to persevere. Out of 8,200 applicants, a dedicated group of talented members of the #MIT community and beyond selected a group of 320 to start the foundational track. Those who make it out of the this track will have the skills they need to proceed to the full Emerging Talent certificate in #Computer and #Data Science. 🔴 Call to action for you and your #network: We can't do this alone so if you or your organization would like to partner with us to support these students, DM me or tag someone in the comments who you think could support. There are many ways to do so. 🙏 #techforgood UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency International Rescue Committee Chobani Hamdi Ulukaya Roya Mahboob Rana el Kaliouby, Ph.D. Microsoft Google IBM Ananya Jain Nick Martin Bernhard Kowatsch Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
