GeoComply hopes to advance diversity, inclusion and equity in STEM by working with AISES on various education, and employment programmes, that focus on the gaming industry.
Founded in 2011, GeoComply provides fraud prevention and cybersecurity solutions that detect location fraud and help verify identity. It works with a list of international customers such as Amazon Prime Video, BBC, DraftKings, FanDuel and MGM Resorts.
Lindsay Slader, GeoComply Managing Director of Gaming, commented: “We’re looking forward to creating education and career opportunities for indigenous communities in North America at GeoComply. These communities make up nearly half of gaming operations in the US and can play a significant role in advancing STEM in those industries.”
AISES was started in 1977 and is a national not-for-profit organisation that aims to increase the representation of the Indigenous peoples of North America and the Pacific Islands.
It offers a diverse STEM-focused programme that supports careers and promotes student success through a range of chartered college and university chapters, professional chapters, tribal chapters, and affiliated K-12 schools.
Dr Johnny Poolaw, AISES Director of Student Success, added: “As our world becomes more advanced with technology and science, and our Tribal Nations continue to grow and flourish, our Indigenous students must understand how and why a STEM career can not only provide an amazing career, but can also provide opportunities to give back to our communities and our world.”
