  We created Huitzi Solutions with the mission of increasing upward social mobility for underrepresented groups in STEM. We do this in two ways. On one hand, we train people from underrepresented groups in STEM how to code, Salesforce, UX/UI Design, and data science with rigorous standards. On the other hand, when students complete their training, we hire them as contractors to provide consulting services. Huitzi specializes in behavioral change design, which is a type of UX design that can increase usage and adherence rates between 20-137%.
