- “Skillfull,” linked in Alison Wynn’s Individual Change Won’t Create Gender Equality in Organizations, is an organization with the intent of connecting the 70% of Americans without college degrees with employers, educators and lawmakers based on skill sets. The website has resources for employers as well as the unemployed to get involved. What this adds to Wynn’s article is an outlet for the disparities she discussed to be helped. Women, or disadvantaged people can use this resource to pursue their endeavors.
- Her target audience in citing this website is women without college degrees. I gather this from the website’s mission statement which says, “Skillful works with employers, educators, policymakers and others to help the nearly 70% of Americans without college degrees get good jobs based on the skills they have or the skills they can learn – creating new opportunities for success in the digital era.” Wynn’s article is about a disparity of women in tech, and this linked article provides a resource for people without college degrees to get jobs in tech. Further, the website’s resources provide a place for women with a desire to get involved in tech to sign up, people who may have come straight from Wynn’s article.
