Diversity and inclusion are so central to what we do that we’ve made ‘Diversity over Homogeneity’ one of our core values.

They aim to create awareness as to the benefits and strengths of neurodiversity in the workplace, support and empower the neurodivergent, and educate the neurotypical on the importance of allyship and understanding neurodiverse colleagues.
Driving workplace inclusion for the neurodiverse community is a key focus of ours and we’re proud to be corporate members. Partnerships, like the one we have with NiB are crucial to enabling us to develop our action plan and deliver meaningful change across the organisation.

Overcoming barriers, together
We're on a mission to create accessible opportunities in next-gen tech. In addition to our core model, which helps individuals from a variety of backgrounds break into the field and accelerate, we have partnered with organizations that specialize in running internships for people from minoritized backgrounds. These internships offer a crucial pathway for individuals to gain practical skills, build confidence, and establish networks which are essential for breaking down barriers, and we are proud to be a part of it.
10,000 Black Interns
In July 2023, we ran our first internship program via 10,000 Black Interns, a scheme that creates opportunities for underrepresented talent in partnership with multinational corporations, professional firms, ambitious start ups, and public bodies. Our model already supports career acceleration and launching the internship programme in partnership with 10,000 Black Interns gives us another opportunity to contribute further to early careers development whilst upholding our strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
“My experience at Kubrick has been enriching to say the least. I've gained invaluable lessons, both professionally and personally, which will undoubtedly shape my future career”

Educate. Empower. Connect
In 2021, we launched a podcast series called ‘Diversifying Data’. This podcast explores different facets of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the world on next-generation technology, offering a platform for underrepresented voices to share stories, insights, and experiences.
Since launching, we have interviewed people across a wide range of industries and at various stages in their career and delved into a multitude of topics such as neurodiversity, sexuality, gender identity, mental health, social mobility, ethnicity, and more.
