What is a Solve-a-thon?
A solve-a-thon is a design thinking workshop. We’ll use MIT’s patented approach to creating scalable innovative solutions for our Work for the Future Challenge.
Our Solve Challenge - Work of the Future
How can we help those who will be left behind in the technology driven age? We are looking to:
- Offer pathways to upskill, reskill, and retrain workers, as well as connect them to the demands of employers
- Develop inclusive platforms that support non-unionized, temporary, informal and freelance workers, helping provide stability, safety nets, and security
- Include the early participation of women, disenfranchised and low-income communities in the creation of new technologies, jobs, or entire industries
Why Work of the Future?
RL Empowers is on a mission to create a path via education, training, and certification for black people to gain early entry and access to high six-figure salary paying STEM careers, empowering these marginalized communities to create generational wealth. The MIT Solve Work for the Future Challenge aligns perfectly with our mission and goals.
