TechHire Initiative

TechHire

The TechHire Initiative was endorsed by the previous White House administration..  TechHire Initiative is a campaign with the sole purpose of expanding local tech sectors by establishing tech talent pipelines in communities across the country. These new programs focus on providing workers the skills for a pathway to the middle class while providing employers with the skilled technology workers need to grow and expand.


“When these tech jobs go unfilled, it’s a missed opportunity for the workers, but it’s also a missed opportunity for your city, your community, your county, your state, and our nation". Revolutions in technology and communication have created an entire economy of high-tech, high-wage jobs that can be located anywhere there's an internet connection." - Barack Obama, 44th U.S. President


Employer demand for IT skills is ever present – and constantly growing. Firms prepared to hire from credential-awarding training programs are reviewing and upgrading their hiring practices to integrate certification-based hiring.

 

Tech jobs pay one and a half times the average wage of a private-sector job. Studies have shown that these opportunities are also accessible to those without college degrees – men and women with non-degree certificates in computer and information services earned more than 65 percent of men and women, respectively, with traditional Associate Degrees. Today, there are over 600,000 open IT jobs across all sectors – more than two-thirds in fields outside the tech sector, such as manufacturing, financial services and healthcare.
