The Digital Skills for All Initiative is a not-for-profit off-shoot of our umbrella organization, Computing for All. The Digital Skills for All Initiative consists of three component programs. Each program serves as an entry point for students according to their education, experience, age and ability. Our goal is to create a pipeline to entry level computer science jobs through a combination of classroom education and pre-apprenticeship/apprenticeship programs in partnership with tech industry companies that will result in jobs for traditionally underserved populations.The Digital Skills Youth Academy (DSYA) is phase two of the Digital Skills for All Initiative that began with our phase one Bring Youth Into Tech (BYIT), our introductory sampler class that introduces underserved students to beginning tech skills and educational pathways to tech careers.

Our earn-while-you-learn pre-apprenticeship program prepares students for apprenticeships, internships, or college while still in high school. Our approach is modeled on basic instruction that integrates coding, computational literacy, and digital media skills with 21st century job skills, team-based project work, and career connected learning. We work to provide young people with the tech skills that will make them effective, competitive employees.
