LEARNING AT THE SPEED OF CHANGE
Developing the Workforce for Information Technology in the Bay Area

  • Only 50% of all US high school graduates complete Algebra II or chemistry

  • While unsatisfied demand exists in virtually all IT occupational areas, it is most acute in the high skilled programming and design areas requiring 4 year degrees

  • Student entry into higher education IT fields continues to shrink
