To remain competitive on the global stage, the US needs to foster more tech talent in the workplace. How can policymakers and business leaders bring people from all backgrounds into the tech field? In a new podcast, CED Senior Economist Jessica Nicholson interviews Jim McKelvey. He is the Co-Founder and Director of Square, Founder of Invisibly, and Founder and President of the nonprofit LaunchCode, an organization that offers free tech education and job placement opportunities.
Together, the two discuss the current state of the nation’s tech workforce; policies and programs to help prepare American workers for the tech jobs of tomorrow; and the vision behind LaunchCode, including the programs offered, success stories, and how the model can be replicated.
