(12)A new program called Adelan TECH Leadership is helping students in the rural community—which is just an hour from Silicon Valley—get web development training and leadership skills so that they can also work in tech.(13)Salinas’ population is 75 percent Hispanic, a vastly underrepresented minority group in Silicon Valley. "We see this as part and parcel of our broader diversity outreach," said Ken McNeely, president of AT&T California, which is footing the bill for the 10-month program. "We know that STEM jobs are solving the economy. Where’s the next new talent? How can we train the workforce of the future?" This is one attempt.
     (14)United Farm Workers, a national union for those in agriculture, helped identify 12 participants. It looked for students enrolled in a two or four-year institution, who had a demonstrated background in math or science. Starting in July, students commit 10 hours a week to online web development courses through Udacity, which will provide them with certification. They also devote one Saturday a month to CORO leadership training, a chance for them to engage with one another. "We hope that not only are they prepared to work at a company like AT&T but also at companies like Uber, Facebook, which are also significant employers in the California economy," said McNeely.(15)18-year-old Luis Villalobos said he found out about the program from his father who is a farmer involved with United Farm Workers. "My parents don’t really know much about technology," Villalobos told CNNMoney. "They’re immigrant farm workers that didn’t get much education. "
