Ne-Yo Invests in Holberton School's Coding Academy for Underrepresented Groups

Singer Ne-Yo has made headlines again, this time not just for his chart-topping hits but also for his investment in the field of education. In 2018, AfroTech reported that Ne-Yo invested $2.3 million into the funding round of Holberton School's two-year coding academy specifically designed to target underrepresented groups.

The school has made significant strides since then, thanks largely to investors like Ne-Yo who share its mission of breaking down barriers in tech. Unlike traditional schools where students are often required to take out hefty loans or even dip into their own pockets for tuition fees, Holberton School offers a unique approach - there's no upfront cost!

Instead, graduates are expected to pay back 17% of their salary over three years after landing employment upon graduation.

This innovative model not only ensures that talented individuals from all walks of life have access to quality education but also addresses the pressing issue of underrepresentation in tech industry jobs. Ne-Yo’s investment is a testament to his commitment towards making sure everyone has an equal shot at success, regardless of their background or socio-economic status.

Ne-Yo's contribution will certainly help bridge this gap and create more opportunities for minorities and women who are often overlooked when it comes to pursuing careers in tech. With such visionary thinkers like Ne-Yo leading the charge, we can only hope that many more individuals follow suit in supporting initiatives like these!
