Apprenti – The Tech Talent Pipeline That Innovates with Inclusion
October 12, 2017 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm
FREE
For years, tech companies have focused their recruitment strategies on hiring from top-tier universities. As some wonder whether these strategies cause a mirrortocracy rather than a meritocracy, the exploding demand for tech workers has outpaced the universities and their ability to educate at a critical mass. The industry is left with stalled dev projects, unfilled job openings, and lost market opportunity.
Enter the resurgence of the apprenticeship model. Through partnerships between organizations like the Washington Technology Industry Association’s Apprenti program and quality immersive software development training programs such as Code Fellows, a viable solution is on the horizon. Join us for an evening where industry leaders share the challenges and successes in creating innovative approaches to building talent pipelines that diversify their teams and create a healthy talent ecosystem within the industry.
