COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa. (KMTV) — Nonprofit The AIM Institute is partnering with
the Council Bluffs Area Chamber of Commerce, Centro Latino of Iowa and Iowa
Western Community College to help more underrepresented populations, such as
Latinos, get jobs in tech. Latinos make up more than 10% of the city's
population.

They're launching the CB Tech Career Acceleration program which will help 20
underemployed people break the cycle of poverty and land high-paying jobs.

"Tech is actually a universal language, so no matter where you're from in the
world, the tech terms are the same," Council Bluffs Area Chamber of Commerce's
Alicia Frieze said. "So being able to have individuals that can speak to
somebody from other areas of the United States or the world is really important
to help grow our area or grow their career."

"Why follow a technological profession? We say it's a million-dollar decision,"
AIM Institute's Itzel Lopez said. "We say this because during a period of 30
years, which is approximately the time a person works, a person that works in
tech can make one million dollars more."

Projections from consulting firm Korn Ferry estimates there will be 4.3 million
job openings in tech, media and telecommunication by 2030.

"Only 1.7 million individuals actually had the education to work in those fields
so it's really important that we are providing diverse opportunities for
everybody to get involved in STEM," Frieze said.



The program gives 10 weeks of instruction and ESL support.

"They're gonna come meet with us and give them an overview of the program which
will be 20 hours as an introduction to web, once they get done with that,
they'll jump into 80 hours which jumps into the fundamentals of web
development," Frieze said.

Lopez — who is an immigrant from Mexico — is determined to bring more
opportunities to marginalized communities, based on her own experiences.

"I was a person — at some point — undocumented. I know the value of having a
good education to breaking the cycle of poverty in our families," Lopez said.

Providing for her family is what Gloria Cortez, an immigrant from El Salvador,
is prioritizing by participating in the program.

"It's very important and exciting because I can contribute, I can provide to my
family and help my husband, my sons in school," Cortez said.

It's forming her "own path" to the American dream.

"I can learn new things, prepare myself with a better education for my future,
to get a better career for my family," Cortez said.



The program is getting funded thanks to a $50,000 grant from Google.
