What we value

SkillCycle has always stood firm in its support of the LGBTQIA+ community, and we also want to highlight and celebrate the worklife stories of our LGBTQIA+ employees. From English professors to military members to religious studies, their professional stories are each a tapestry of different paths to success that run parallel to their personal ones of growth and pride in what they do and who they are.

Our Team

As Vice President of Sales at SkillCycle, Justin Dile is a testament to resilience and authenticity. His personal journey, marked by overcoming adversity -  including a period of homelessness as a young gay man - has shaped his approach to leadership, fostering a deep understanding of the importance of diversity and inclusion. Beyond his professional role, Justin is deeply engaged with his community as the Director of Coordination for BOS in Philadelphia, organizing events, raising funds, and creating safe spaces for his local LGBTQIA+ community. Justin's story serves as a powerful reminder of the richness of diversity at SkillCycle and the limitless potential within each of us when we embrace who we truly are.
