The tech industry and tech-enabled employers have an opportunity. The demand for IT talent is not going away—as noted, it is still growing—and despite the media buzz about layoffs, the job opportunities are still here. But there are still employers seeking to grow and retain their workforce using all the traditional tech-hiring standbys.
Employers can continue to perpetuate workforce norms that prolong inequities or they can lead by initiating unique, innovative, and paid apprenticeship experiences for untapped talent eager to work. Meanwhile, RITEI partners will continue to shape the future of America’s workforce by training local talent for local opportunities that enable diverse learners to enter high-demand tech careers. The opportunity is right in front of you.
