MIT ReACT opens up connected learning pathways for refugees and displaced learners, believing that everyone deserves the opportunity to advance their learning and livelihood.
Over the past 5 years, MIT ReACT has offered its Certificate in Computer and Data Science program to over 200 learners located in 30 different countries from refugee, migrant and low income communities.
Now, building from its proven model, MIT ReACT is broadening its reach, with the launch of Emerging Talent , aiming to scale educational programs designed to provide transformative academic and career development opportunities to learners from vulnerable, underrepresented or historically marginalized communities worldwide.
MIT Emerging Talent will continue to offer the Certificate Program in Computer and Data Science while integrating MIT ReACT with new communities of talented learners.
