The document discusses two disturbing trends in the industry: a lack of gender, racial, cultural, and economic diversity as well as a growing talent gap and shortage of skilled workers. It proposes working with non-profits, community colleges, and companies to identify diverse candidates, develop training programs and curriculum, recruit, vet, place, and train candidates to fill over 10,000 jobs in digital media, advertising, technology, data, operations, and e-commerce over five years in order to create a more diverse workforce that reflects their customer base and solves the STEM shortage. The goal is to reduce recruiting, training, and retention costs for employers.
