We recognize the need to drive inclusion and equity, and we\u2019re committed to pursuing progress in this critical area.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nResearch shows that the number of women serving as computing professionals has experienced a long period of decline.

Perficient\u2019s goal is to extend a number of qualified cohort graduates a full-time job in the software engineering and development field, where they will partner with one of the world\u2019s biggest brands in the Detroit metro region.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe believe Perficient colleagues are the best and brightest in the industry, and we\u2019re thrilled to be able to provide an opportunity for women to not only grow their STEM careers, but to join our highly skilled and innovative workforce,\u201d said Tom Hogan, Perficient\u2019s chief operating officer. \u201cTogether with Strategic Education and Hackbright Academy, we\u2019re taking action to pursue progress centered on diversity and enhancing the communities in which we live and work.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cWe look forward to launching this cohort in Detroit to further our mission of changing the ratio of women in engineering and technology by preparing more women for job opportunities in these fields. Perficient is a great partner to help us achieve those goals,\u201d said Ashley Trinh, Program Director for Hackbright Academy. \u201cLike us, they believe that diversity and inclusion not only results in better teams and outcomes, but is a commitment to integrity, collaboration, and people that defines you as an organization.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nTo learn more about Bright Paths and the Perficient-sponsored Hackbright Academy cohort, or to apply, visit the <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwomen.hackbrightacademy.com%2Fperficient%3F%26utm_source%3Dbright-futures%26utm_medium%3Dpress-release%26utm_campaign%3Dperficient&amp;esheet=52345252&amp;newsitemid=20201209005618&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=program+landing+page&amp;index=4&amp;md5=0b4d852341179d8e3b60883ddd40e58c\">program landing page<\/a>.
