Dr. Joseph Nwoye is the founder and president of the Systemic Diversity and Inclusion Group Company, Inc. (SDIG). Dr. Nwoye is passionate about fostering diverse work environments where everyone feels valued and included. With over 20 years of experience as a professional development leader, he specializes in diversity and inclusion research, strategy, and implementation.

His vision and advocacy for diversity and inclusion are rooted in his assessments of discrimination within public institutions. Dr. Nwoye believes public organizations must adopt a consumer-oriented approach to diversity and inclusive education, as well as workplace practices. This approach involves using tools such as SWOT analysis, D&I situation analysis, assessment components, and various evidence-based techniques to evaluate the state of diversity and inclusion in organizations and develop the necessary solutions.

Dr. Nwoye’s work includes serving as Chair of the College Diversity Committee at Montgomery College in Maryland, where his holistic approach to diversity and inclusion became known as the Montgomery College Diversity Signature Program for culturally responsive teaching.

As a pioneer and innovator in the field, Dr. Nwoye launched the first annual Student Diversity and Inclusion Conference at the Center for Multicultural Education. This event focused on encouraging diverse communities to share their unique experiences to harness the power of storytelling.

In addition to storytelling, Dr. Nwoye advocates for overcoming divisiveness and discriminatory practices by first acknowledging that these issues exist. He believes that once we recognize these divisions, we must understand their roots. This process enables us to create specific goals aimed at dismantling the societal barriers caused by these artificial divisions. Dr. Nwoye’s extensive experience, body of work, and professional development strategies for advancing global diversity and inclusion serve as a collective effort toward achieving peace, equality, and social justice.

Ogechukwu Josephine is a professional Software Engineer/ Technical Team Lead Omni Swift Nigeria Limited coordinator and SDIG International Outreach Coordinator of Tech and School in Abuja (Nigerian Capital Territory).

I am a skilled software engineer with 6 years of development experience in Backend/API Development and powering Backend portals, from API Development to complex integrated platforms. My proficiency in PHP, Laravel, JavaScript, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Node.js, along with my expertise in payment gateway and other third-party integrations, allows me to deliver precise solutions tailored to client needs. This approach, characterized by the SDIG president as a consumer model, is our core value. I have demonstrated my ability and familiarity with many systems, from school management portals to Learning Management systems, Online job management portals, Loan Management portals for schools, and software as a service application (SAAS).

Technical Expertise:
As Coordinator of Tech, I strive to align tech and teachers to operate based on the best practices. I employ technological tools to foster practical applications that support schoolteachers, administrators, and curriculum experts in delivering high-quality educational services. As a teacher whose primary responsibility is to ensure the establishment of amalgamation of education and Tech Team to work collaboratively to support teachers and students in their academic journey and simultaneously provide an effective model for success. Josephine models the SDIG guide in continuous assessment, monitoring progress, and creating a positive learning environment. I am currently in the process of working with the Central Library to engage parents in the provision of tools that would add value in delivering unique services in our collective quest to prepare them for the global marketplace.
With my proficiency in API development and third-party integrations, I can ensure the seamless integration of systems into existing school and business systems in Nigeria. My experience in building complex platforms can also be utilized to support the backend needs of schools and businesses, ensuring the smooth operation and management of other system tools. This ability to integrate systems effectively is a testament to my technical competence and commitment to delivering high-quality solutions.

Platform Development:
School Management Portals: With my background in creating school management systems, I can demonstrate how other systems can enhance administrative and educational processes.
Learning Management Systems: I can show educators how to integrate other learning platforms with school LMS for better content creation and student engagement.
Business Solutions: I can develop portals for businesses that incorporate other business tools for internal communications, marketing, and project management.

Training and Support:
Workshops and Training Sessions: Conduct workshops to train educators and business professionals on how to use tools effectively.
Technical Support and Troubleshooting: Provide ongoing support (traditionally and online) to ensure users can overcome technical challenges.

Conclusion:
With my technical background and hands-on experience developing platforms for educational and business environments, I am well-positioned to help schools and companies adopt the Tool. By providing customized integration, training, and ongoing support, I can ensure that they can fully leverage any platform capabilities to enhance their operations and educational processes.

My experience combining these roles demonstrates my ability to foster academic excellence and technological proficiency within the school and business communities. My expertise in education and technology would be invaluable in preparing students, education leadership, and business leaders for the challenges of our modern global communities.
