People are losing jobs to automation in many industries, and 47% of the jobs could disappear in 20 years.
Moreover, the demand for high-tech talent is high, yet supply is low, and the high-tech talent shortage is getting worse.
Our society may end up like a town where half the people are starving, and the orchard’s fruits are rotting on the trees.
Our mission is to help increase the supply of high-tech talent and lower the impact of job losses due to automation. We will do this by helping increase the supply of STEAM graduates, support re-training, and cross-training programs to help people who are facing unemployment build new skills that are in high demand.
Within the STEAM domain, we will give special attention to Information Technology (IT), environmental science, and renewable energy.
