Facebook Teams Up With Colorintech on Diversity Initiative in Europe

The nonprofit will work with the social network’s recruiting and employer branding teams

Facebook is teaming up with London-based nonprofit Colorintech on a diversity initiative in Europe.

Colorintech said the partnership marks Facebook’s first of its kind to focus on Europe, adding that it will work with the social network’s recruiting and employer branding teams on a series of programs and events aimed at targeting professionals from underrepresented cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

The company will also work with internal teams at Facebook to help it provide more inclusive work environments for people from multiple communities and cultural backgrounds to thrive.

In turn, Facebook employees will help teach code and showcase virtual reality technology at Colorintech’s upcoming Colorcode summit, aimed at 15- to 18-year-olds from cultural and ethnic backgrounds that are underrepresented in the technology sector.
