Nilda Thomas

Founder | CEO Workforce eTraining Solutions | k12 Virtual Solutions

Nilda Thomas established Workforce eTraining Solutions LLC (WETS) with a vision of providing access to online technical training to minorities, women, teens, veterans and underserved communities. WETS is a distributor of web-based learning technologies. Seeing the need and demand for online education for children and youth, k12 Virtual Solutions was formed. 

Thomas has over 20 years of experience in technology serving in senior marketing roles at Deloitte, Microsoft, AT&T, and EDS where she helped to launch the Distance Learning Services Group in the late 90’s and became fascinated with the technology.  

As an advocate of financial, education, employment, and digital equity, she believes e-learning helps to bridge the social-economic digital divide. In 2000, she was featured in Black Enterprise and was quoted, “If we don’t embrace it [technology] as a people, we’re going to be left behind. We need to embrace and be afforded the opportunities to take advantage of the way we learn technology so we can become more marketable in the workforce”. She was also featured in Hispanic Women in Business and Women in e-Commerce magazines. Additionally, she has served on several boards and serves as a trusted advisor to senior corporate and philanthropic executives. WETS is a woman-owned minority company.
