MARS Solutions Group Joins Milky Way Tech Hub as Corporate Member

Milwaukee – June 8, 2022 – MARS Solutions Group (MARS) has partnered with Milky Way Tech Hub (MWTH) to advance Milwaukee’s technology workforce through a pipeline development strategy involving upskilling & reskilling programs and events. MWTH was founded in 2017 to transform the city of Milwaukee into a tech hub that focuses on equity, representation, and inclusion through community and corporate partnerships. The two firms look forward to highlighting their partnership through shared programming throughout Wisconsin Tech Month in October 2022.

“We are proud to plug into a tech ecosystem propelled by a top-notch enterprise owned and operated by a woman of color,” says Rashi Khosla, President & CEO of MARS Solutions Group. “The fact that diversity is at the core of Milky Way Tech Hub’s programming made it a highly appealing prospect for MARS to become a corporate member. We are thrilled to evolve the partnership toward our shared goals and values.”

Corporate membership will also advance the partnership between MARS and MWTH, supporting the overall growth, mission, and strategy of the Milky Way Tech Hub. MARS Solutions Group’s membership aligns with its commitment to talent development in a variety of ways. The MARS Returnship program has proven itself as one solution to the growing demand for non-traditional talent in the marketplace. MARS looks forward to partnering with the Milky Way Tech Hub to collaborate on upskilling and reskilling programs that further elevate the local tech ecosystem.

“We are thrilled that another woman-owned business has become a member of the Milky Way Tech Hub. The work of the Milky Way Tech Hub to unify Milwaukee’s tech ecosystem around the core values of equity, justice, and belonging is strengthened by partnerships such as this one,” said Nadiyah Johnson, CEO & Founder of Jet Constellations, which owns the Milky Way Tech Hub. “Our partnership with MARS Solutions Group is a testament to what true collaboration looks like. It’s exciting to see more organizations join forces and realize our vision of collectively establishing Milwaukee as the most inclusive tech hub in the nation.”
