Black Tech Jobs, a platform dedicated to connecting underrepresented talent with tech opportunities, and Blueprint Technologies, a leader in data intelligence solutions, are proud to announce NueTech, a joint venture aimed at increasing diversity in the tech workforce. This initiative will place highly qualified professionals from underrepresented communities—including Black & African Americans, Native Americans, and Former Military Veterans—into impactful roles in technology.

“Innovation thrives on diverse perspectives. By bringing together people from different backgrounds, we can create solutions that are truly inclusive and reflective of the world we live in,” said Will McNeil, Founder and CEO of Black Tech Jobs. “Our partnership with Blueprint creates real opportunities for talent from underrepresented communities.”

The representation of diverse talent in tech remains disproportionately low. According to Google’s 2024 Diversity Annual Report, only 5.7% of Google’s new hires were Black, and 7.5% were Latinx. Additionally, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that in 2022, the unemployment rate for Black Americans was 6.1% and 6.2% for American Indians and Alaska Natives—nearly double the national average of 3.6%.

“At Blueprint, we believe diversity of thought is essential for true innovation,” said Ryan Neal, Founder and CEO of Blueprint Technologies. “By hiring talent from different backgrounds, we enrich teams, drive creativity, and solve problems more effectively.”

Together, Black Tech Jobs and Blueprint Technologies have set an ambitious goal to place 1,000 professionals in technology jobs through NueTech. This initiative will identify, train, and connect candidates with leading corporations and high-growth tech companies, creating a diverse ecosystem that serves as a force multiplier for companies looking to scale.
