EachOneTeachOneTech

With years of experience, a tested model, and long-standing partnerships with educational and community partners, EachOneTeachOne is uniquely positioned to contribute to meeting the goal of closing the gap between the supply of technically skilled workers and the demands of a digital economy. ​

Philosophy
Research shows that girls, women, and members of other groups are under-represented in technology fields in school, and in technology-related employment. Technical jobs are among the most flexible and highest- paying. Lack of economic self-sufficiency resulting from gender and other inequality in education, training and employment reaps a grim harvest. For example, it is one of the top reasons drawing and then trapping women into unhealthy relationships all over the world, creating sad conditions and pulling area economies down with them into a cycle of stagnation.
Economic self-sufficiency for girls, women, and all members of the community, benefits everyone, when all people achieve proficiency in skills, including technical skills, and have access to the best jobs. Each One Teach One seeks to address the imbalance in technical education, achievement, and job prospects. Everyone benefits from help lifting all members of the community beyond the limitations of gender and other types of inequality, and our communities benefit from an increase in a skilled workforce and an increase in employment. ​

Technology Training and Employment for Women and Girls in Developing Areas ​
Our organization piloted its program, providing coding and technology training and employment for women, girls, and members of other underrepresented groups, with a goal to empower economic independence and personal contribution through finding employment in the technology sector. The program trains students to pay the cost of the program forward by becoming a mentor for someone else.

Desired outcomes include completion of technical training, completion of job seeking skills training, delivery of work in the E1T1 internship, and finding further work beyond the E1T1 internship. The ultimate outcomes include better-compensated, more flexible employment options for girls and women, avoidance of unhealthy relationships and the resulting harms and costs, and increased employment in targeted areas.

We believe in building skills through building confidence, and improving lives through education, training and gainful employment. Students are encouraged to challenge themselves, but progress at their own pace.

Theory of Action/Theory of Change
​
We strive for results where more women, girls, and members of other underrepresented groups gain further well-compensated, flexible employment in computing-related fields, starting with completing our E1T1 tech internship. Our model is created to provide concrete guidance and resources as well as hands on tech service delivery experience, encouraging confidence, self-sufficiency and employment in computing-related fields, through technical skills, use of existing online resources, guidance and mentoring. The model seeks to provide education that leads beyond the initial Each1Teach1 internship job, to further jobs, which then will lay the foundation for economic self-sufficiency for girls and women.

With years of experience, a tested model, and long-standing partnerships with educational and community partners, EachOneTeachOne is uniquely positioned to contribute to meeting the goal of closing the gap between the supply of technically skilled workers and the demands of a digital economy. ​

Since 2012, E1T1 has trained over 250 youth and adults and provided them initial technology-sector jobs in the form of the E1T1 internship itself.
