Purpose
Open Source has historically been exclusionary for marginalized people, and the talent gap for junior developers is widening. Discover Drupal aims to uplift marginalized folks and close the talent gap by providing the necessary resources, skills, and connections for our students to be successful.
This initiative provides Drupal training scholarships, mentorship, and hands-on experience to folks who are interested in pursuing a career in Drupal and are from historically oppressed communities. Students that complete the program will be ready for an internship or early-career level position. Our 2021-2022 cohort graduated 4 students.
For any questions or comments about Discover Drupal, reach out to Von R. Eaton, Director, Programs at [email protected].
