Organization
With a focus on workforce development, Osiris Organization breaks down barriers by helping those who often lack the kind of opportunities that lead to living-wage employment in high-demand fields.
Through the computer labs we operate at Minneapolis and St. Paul park locations, we acquaint communities with technology. Park patrons enjoy free internet access, and computer training courses are available at select locations.
Osiris’s career training is unique because it combines in-demand IT industry coursework and credentials, with the softer skills employers are looking for. Plus, we provide personalized coaching and mentoring.
Our training better prepares participants to get jobs quickly but also enhances their long term employment prospects and career opportunities.
We help people find success in the workplace – and in life.

Project Information
We need in depth interactive visualizations that analyze the following questions:
How much property do we as Black Americans own? Both commercial and residential?
How many black businesses in tech are registered? How much do they make
What about stock? How much do we know about it and what apps should we look at those options? Any Black stock owners in tech? What is the revenue?
The number of Black Americans employed incorporate? The number of information technology? What jobs? What are the salaries? From 2008-2019
How many Black people have landed jobs in technology after gaining degrees?
Salary and number of Black SW engineers and current North America stats?
How does trans-humanism and AI have a direct effect on the Black community with the already dwindling numbers of American Black people in regards to birth control, police assaults, ambush, incarceration?
Call-to-Action
Mentoring and spreading information on getting Black people into info tech, especially being many Black people here in Minnesota have the worst wealth gap in the entire country.
Use of Data Visualization
We will use the visualizations to educate our communities and the employees in the region.
