January 30, 2025

Meet Rohit: A Scholar’s Success Story
One of our dedicated scholars, Rohit Patel, a student at Fisk University, embodies the impact of this partnership. Eager to expand his technical skills, Rohit enrolled in the Grow with Google program to enhance his knowledge in IT support and data analytics. Through this opportunity, he gained hands-on experience in troubleshooting, networking, and system administration—critical skills for today’s tech-driven job market.

Rohit credits the program for giving him a new level of confidence in his career journey. “The certification helped me sharpen my skills and made me more competitive for internships and job opportunities,” he shares. “Having this on my resume sets me apart.”

Building a Pipeline for Black Tech Talent
With only 7% of tech industry jobs held by Black professionals, initiatives like Grow with Google are critical to closing the gap. KR Scholars is dedicated to ensuring HBCU students have access to these valuable learning opportunities, bridging the divide between education and workforce success.

Through this partnership, we are offering 10 students the chance to complete a Grow with Google certification, receive career coaching, and connect with potential employers in the tech space.
