New Pipelines for Diverse IT Talent
summary
Panel argues the U.S. faces about 1 million unfilled tech jobs by 2020 and shows precise, tested responses: a middle‑school program reaches ~2,000 girls and reports 70% changed their minds about tech careers; a nonprofit runs a 5-to-18-year pipeline teaching web development and placing a 17‑year‑old as a paid front‑end intern; adult retraining program plans 1,000 IT-ready placements next year; coding boot camps double from 60 to 120 in months. Companies must invest apprenticeships, paid internships and soft‑skills coaching.
