“I've done equity work and inclusion work within the workplace - really advocating for underrepresented communities and the disabled community being one of them, says Zariah Cameron, co-director of community and research, Aroko Cooperative.
WorkingNation sat down with Cameron at SXSW EDU 2024 in Austin.
She notes the value of apprenticeship in her own journey. “I think it was the very first step for me of introducing the possibilities of my career, of the impact that I wanted to make. Apprenticeship was really a way for me to upskill in a way of gaining the experience that I really wanted in the user experience design space.”
