Project Title
For a project to support The Last Mile Talent Development, Inc.
Date
Jun. 04, 2020
Duration
12 months
Description
Many industries are in the process of outsourcing their entire computing power (store, manage, and process data) to cloud computing platforms which can reduce Information Technology costs significantly. This shift to cloud computing represents a multi-trillion-dollar opportunity for companies and high paying positions for individuals with skills in this field. However, there is a shortage of skilled workers that can support the massive migration and maintenance to cloud computing. The Knowledge House’s Last Mile Talent Development Initiative (LMTD) will bridge the gap between the existing and growing corporate need and the shortage of skilled workers by training high-performing under-resourced students and graduates from City University of New York, private colleges and community based organizations (CBOs). These colleges and CBOs represent an ethnically and socioeconomically diverse pool of candidates. Corporation support will help launch LMTD which will engage employers and colleges to train and connect highly talented and diverse students to fill current staffing needs that exist within Cloud Computing.
