Talent Development

The deficit of technology workers is a national epidemic.

In the 2015 State of the Union address, President Obama stated that there are over 500,000 IT job vacancies in the United States. The White House expects that number to grow to 1.4 million by 2020 with only 400,000 new graduates expected to fill those jobs. In 2014, Middle Tennessee added 2,200 new IT jobs and experienced an estimated 1,549 IT vacancies. The NTC is seeking to address the shortage of skilled IT workers through building connections between students, IT professionals, and educators.
