1 Year, 50 Cities, 100,000 Jobs | Tech Jobs Tour Is Coming To the Tech City of the South

This is about more than jobs. It’s about economic opportunity for all Americans.

Right now America has over 500,000 open tech jobs — by 2020 this number will grow to over 1 million. At the same time, over 60 percent of all new coders, engineers and data scientists are emerging from bootcamps and vocational schools. Women, people of color, and LGBTQ people, in particular, are opting for more affordable and accessible coding bootcamps and online education programs over 4-year degrees.

So how do companies find top non-traditional talent? They attend the Tech Jobs Tour.

Tech Jobs Tour is stopping in Atlanta November 29th!

The tour will bring together diverse and non-traditional talent with companies who need their skills the most, as well as connect new developers with mentors and industry experts.
