MIT Emerging Talent
MIT Emerging Talent at the Jameel World Education Lab develops global education programs that target the needs of talented individuals from the most challenging economic and social circumstances, by equipping them with the knowledge and tools to advance their education and careers. Our vision is to provide talented learners a platform to advance their skills, leverage their expertise, access a professional career, and become leading change agents in their communities.
MIT Emerging Talent expands upon the efforts of the MIT Refugee Action Hub (ReACT), which has offered its Certificate in Computer and Data Science to over 200 learners in its 5 year history. Now under the MIT Emerging Talent brand, these Certificate programs harness MIT’s digital learning courses and tools, global networks, and entrepreneurial spirit towards transformative programming for talented individuals from historically excluded or underrepresented backgrounds, including refugees, displaced, and conflict-impacted communities, from around the world.
Applications for the Certificate in Computer and Data Science are now closed.

HUBS
Over the past 5 years, the MIT Refugee Action Hub has built relationships with organizations, universities, NGOs and other stakeholders in 7 global hubs which represent clusters of learners from 30 different countries. MIT NET builds upon this existing hub network.
We are actively developing relationships across the globe to bring MIT NET to regions where vulnerable communities can benefit from our virtual, holistic programming to develop tech and human skills, build confidence and excel academically and professionally.
