I’m interested in how orgs choose which underrepresented groups to target. This program works to improve female, black, indigenous, and Hispanic people.
But they don’t target (or allow really) non-binary or lgbt (except trans women are allowed). Or don’t allow Arab/middle-eastern persons. Etc etc.
I think it’s cool that an org as large as Apple is working to improve representation but am interested in what criteria are used to specify underrepresented.
- lijok 3y agoDon’t take middle eastern people not being eligible for the programme as Apple refusing to label them underrepresented. They choose which underrepresented groups to target based on the resources they have. If Apple didn’t have any non-binary people qualified to provide counselling, then they can’t offer support to them. Hopefully they source experts externally in the future and expand this offering to more underrepresented groups.
