The Technology Council’s Government Relations efforts have always centered on making our clients aware of opportunities that exist in the public realm. Recently, the Council partnered with the Workforce Investment Board (WIB) of northwest PA to aggregate the technology training needs of companies in this region. I’ve provided you with an opportunity to send this survey, entitled “Tech Snapshot” to your clients that may be able to take advantage of this program. The program, known as the Technology Industry Partnership, is designed to assist in developing the technology workforce.
The following link will take you to an online survey for your company’s technology workforce and training needs called the Technology Snapshot. The survey is being conducted by a nonprofit that our company is affiliated with called the Technology Council of Northwest PA. The information provided will be aggregated and used to better serve the technology community in terms of training, career insight, and current technology deployment.
Filling out the Tech Snapshot makes you eligible for grant funds to pay for up to 75% of your technology training needs. Thank you in advance for supporting this effort.
