DrupalGovCon - August 2018 - Presented by Dori Kelner and Ruby Sinreich*

Drupal Apprenticeship Initiative (DAI), a group working with DDI and TalentPath to provide people from underrepresented groups with development training, paid apprenticeships, and ultimately full-time positions in Drupal-adjacent organizations, along with support and mentorship from the Drupal community.

We've created our Resource Library as a means of curating resources, recruiting contributors, and highlighting helpful resources. A very important part of our work is providing opportunities for education - for community members to learn more about topics they aren't aware of. 

DD&I Contrib Team, a group working to increase code-based contributions from individuals from under-represented groups to the Drupal project. We meet in Drupal Slack in #ddi-contrib-team.

A space in the Drupal Slack for the DDI community to post jobs, find jobs, discuss jobs, job postings, and companies, to give and get advice about work, careers, and for companies to find d&I related resources. 

Join us in #ddi-session-help in the Drupal Slack to We created the #ddi-session-help channel in the Drupal slack as a way to help people, particularly those from underrepresented groups, prepare session proposals for camps & cons.

Would you be interested in attending an online speaker training event, focused on helping people from underrepresented groups to overcome imposter syndrome, level up speaking skills, brainstorm and select a topic, develop a pitch and bio, and outline a talk?
