Originally Published: May 30, 2023

At Dell Technologies, talking about diversity is not enough. We believe in turning talk into action. Our Changing the Face of Tech (CFT) initiative is a network of programs that focuses on attracting and empowering talent from diverse backgrounds and looking beyond the standard pool of candidates to recruit and establish a uniquely strong diverse workforce.

This spring, the CFT Emerging Talent Recruitment team hosted 242 students from across 35 Historically Black Colleges and Universities in the 6th annual HBCU Battle of the Brains competition - an incredible display of talent and creativity from the next generation of tech leaders.
