Edquity

Diversity, inclusion, equity, and an anti-racist mindset must permeate through everything we do, from every meeting to every form of communication. We want to ensure Edquity is safe and conducive to the success of every individual we interact with, which of course begins with our employees. Not only is diversity important to us - it is intentional every step of the way. We are proud of the diversity on our team, but are always looking on not only maintaining that diversity but pushing those boundaries that permeate tech culture - we have a goal of our team matching the diversity of this country and the cities we work in.

Edquity's values, including our commitment to enhancing equity, are contingent on making sure our team represents the students we are serving. As a result, we equally value and care for people of all different backgrounds and identities, including both our staff and the countless students we support.

We want to ensure that as we grow, we continue to build a workforce that enables us to live our values and serve students to the best of our abilities. This goes beyond whom we hire — though it certainly starts here — and goes deeper to the internal practices we implement to make sure we're creating an empathetic and culturally sensitive work environment. Our commitment to inclusivity as a company ensures we can create the culture of caring internally that we aim to practice externally.

We value all types of backgrounds and experiences - not just traditional 4-year degrees. We encourage learning and professional development within our teams - in fact it is an explicit Edquity value. To ensure our commitment to diversity and inclusion, Edquity has an internal anti-racism committee, frequently audits our company demographics via utilizing self-identification surveys, and we are a proud member of the FinTech Equality Coalition.
