TBD | Does Google Actually Want to Hire Black Engineers?

About this episode

Back in 2014, Google released in-depth diversity data for its workforce for the first time. 1.1 percent of its tech team identified as Black. Six years later, after millions of dollars spent and a much-hyped partnership program with historically Black colleges and universities across the country, that number is up to 2.4 percent. 


How did such a promising effort yield such incremental change?


Guest: Nitasha Tiku, tech culture reporter at the Washington Post
