Tech workforce growth is projected to outpace overall U.S. job growth by double.
The AI market is expected to quadruple by 2030, scaling from $515B to over $2T.
Careers in STEM generate more than $1 million in additional lifetime earnings compared to non-STEM fields.
Technology is reshaping how people work, learn, and participate in the economy.
The skills and pathways needed to participate in this digital future are not reaching everyone. Digital Leaders Now addresses this challenge through an ecosystem that connects education, community, and industry to build skills, expand opportunity, and prepare people of all ages to participate in the digital economy.
Not just exposure. Opportunity with direction.
Education builds skills.
Community builds confidence.
Industry builds opportunity.
DLN connects all three — students, families, schools, and employers — into one ecosystem where learning leads somewhere. At the center is GANAS Tech, our initiative that turns these connections into hands-on tech experience and real career pathways.
No one enters this ecosystem the wrong way. A student might start in a classroom, build confidence at a community workshop, and land an internship through GANAS Tech — all within DLN.
Over 1,200 students have gained hands-on tech exposure and access to real pathways into future careers.
21,000+ hours of instruction have built consistent, skill-based learning that moves students forward.
A 96% completion rate shows strong engagement and meaningful, well-supported learning experiences.
Parent engagement is up 40%, strengthening support systems and extending impact beyond the classroom.
