Here at the NTC, we’re always excited to start new ventures when it comes to improving our tech community. Thanks to the JP Morgan Chase Foundation, we have created eight focus groups to begin exploring opportunities for accelerated learning programs to fill the talent needs of Middle TN.
So what is it that we need to be successful? We need YOU – the technology community – so we can better understand your needs, the skills necessary for success, and the pathways potential for entry-level technology professionals in companies like yours. It’s crucial we have your knowledge and input to make a difference in the talent pool. We invite your expertise around current and projected need for positions with 0-2 years experience, skills and competencies required to be successful in those jobs, and the potential positions to which those roles might be promoted.
Each focus group will entail facilitated sessions validating existing data from both local and national resources, and include active exercises for you to share the talent needs of your company and the talent need of the community as a whole, as you see it.
