DURHAM, N.C., Sept. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The national network of Radiate cooperatives has welcomed its first business delivering tech solutions: Radiate Consulting™ North Carolina. The business has been launched by Code the Dream, a North Carolina-based nonprofit providing high-level software development education to people from diverse low-income backgrounds, in partnership with the Democracy at Work Institute (DAWI), which works to expand worker ownership to reach communities locked out of good jobs and business ownership. In partnership, Code the Dream and DAWI are creating pathways to work with values-driven business ownership opportunities for skilled young professionals facing barriers to quality employment.
