“We are truly grateful that our work on “Let There Be Change” is
garnering national recognition,” said Accenture Federal Services
Managing Director, Keyatta Orlena. “This sweeping initiative
continues to serve as a driving force in supporting our clients and
local communities with investment in diversity and inclusion
programs to create lasting change in the world around us.”
Specifically, “Let There Be Change” addresses workplace equity
and cultural opportunity in the federal sector. The initiative also
actively engages students at Historically Black Colleges and
Universities (HBCUs) to develop educational and employment
opportunities. For example, at Howard University, AFS launched a
professional development effort to engage with current students and
help prepare them for the workforce. AFS-sponsored programs include
a Student Immersion Innovation Class, a Student Hackathon, and a
Technology Development Internship program.
“AFS is empowering students with real-world skillsets in areas
like cybersecurity, data, and analytics, that they will need in the
tech workforce when they launch their careers,” said AFS I&D
Practice Lead, Ebony Jones. “Building a culture that prioritizes
equality and equity is not only the right thing to do; it is a
powerful force multiplier toward driving innovation and economic
growth.”
