At Impala Search, we believe in the power of knowledge sharing and community building, especially when it comes to empowering the next generation of tech talent. That's why, in February, our team members, Callum Russell and Rob Blackburn, had the honour of presenting to over 30 students at INCO Academy, an organization dedicated to inspiring, developing, and championing the workforce of the future.
INCO Academy serves as a beacon of opportunity for individuals from diverse backgrounds who may face barriers to entry into the tech industry. Recognising the importance of providing access and support to underrepresented communities, Impala eagerly seized the opportunity to collaborate with INCO and contribute to their mission.
During the presentation, Callum and Rob shared their expert knowledge and insights garnered from years of experience in the tech recruitment field. They engaged with the students, offering valuable advice, guidance, and industry insights to help them navigate the complexities of the tech landscape.
"We had a great time sharing our expertise with the talented students at INCO Academy," said Callum Russell, Principal Consultant at Impala Search. "It's crucial to us at Impala to give back to the community and support initiatives that promote diversity and inclusion in the tech industry."
Rob Blackburn, a Co-founder of Impala Search, added, "Mentoring aspiring tech professionals is not only rewarding but also essential for fostering a more diverse and inclusive tech workforce. We're excited about the opportunity to continue offering mentorship and support to the students at INCO Academy."
As a company committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, Impala Search is dedicated to leveraging our resources and expertise to create opportunities for individuals from all walks of life. Our partnership with INCO Academy represents just one of the many ways we strive to make a positive impact on the future of the tech industry.
Looking ahead, we are excited about the prospect of further collaboration with INCO Academy and other organizations that share our values and commitment to empowering future tech talent. Together, we can build a more diverse, inclusive, and vibrant tech community that reflects the rich tapestry of talent and experiences in our society.
