Priyanka Chopra-Jonas has joined the Holberton School as an investor and an advisor to help further the careers of women in tech.
Sylvain Kalache and Julien Barbier noticed a big problem while working in Silicon Valley when it came to recruiting talent.
They had noticed aspiring software engineers would devote years to studying, sometimes accumulating over a hundred thousand dollars of student debt, and would still not have the skills necessary to find a job in the space. So Kalache and Barbier decided to build a new school-. The school allows students to learn tuition-free until they find a job post-graduation.

She is an extremely fierce, powerful and strong woman. I still manage to learn from her every day.How can other corporations learn from Holberton in integrating true diversity and inclusion to help elevate the economics of wealth?There’s so much to be learned from Holberton’s leadership.
