Overview

Mined Minds Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, with the mission of growing tech hubs in areas of economic need within rural Appalachia. We do this by working with training providers to grow a talented and diverse workforce, as well as working to create and bring new career opportunities to the region. Mined Minds Foundation believes anyone can have a successful career in the technology industry, and that socioeconomic factors should not be a barrier to entry. We also understand that talent in the software development sector is hard to come by, overpriced, and that the workforce is severely lacking in diversity. By creating new pools of software developers in low-cost areas, the tech industry benefits through availability of an increased onshore workforce, and local communities increase the diversification of their economies.
