Us Digital Equity Workforce Development Job Placement OUR Christian B. Darrell K. Yasenia E. During my three-month tenure at AUTMHQ, I evolved from a blind volunteer into a tech-savvy AI enthusiast. My collaboration with the supportive AUTMHQ team made my experience memorable, introducing me to the tech world and instilling a lifelong fascination with AI. I was an Austinite facing housing challenges, but I found a lifeline in AUTMHQ's digital literacy class at Operation Liberty Hill. The program gave me a laptop, hotspot, and skills to help me online so I could apply for more opportunities with the Affordable Connectivity Program, too! As a busy mom of five living near Operation Liberty Hill, I found a way to change my life in AUTMHQ's digital literacy class. The program gave me a device to support my kids’ education and gave me a passion for learning. Now, I’m excited to master Excel to manage my money and imporove my conversational English. The Problem There's a significant gap between the number of tech jobs available and the qualified individuals to fill them. The tech industry highlights: sectors. 1. Millions of unfilled tech roles across 2. Barriers for underrepresented groups to entre the tech industry, thus not meeting industry talent demand. The takeaway: There's a clear disconnect. Tech jobs are being created exponentially, but the number of talented individuals from underrepresented groups are not entering the tech field at the rate needed to meet 1. The Diversity Index Score uses the Simpson’s Diversity Index methodology, a calculation of tech occupation diversity across the 7 top level race and ethnicity groups as reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. demand. 2. Job postings are a measure of employer demand for tech talent during 2022. The total figure represents job postings across the 17 tech occupations used within Cyberstates. The emerging tech job posting figure uses a basket of 15 emerging job roles and skills, such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, robotics, digital business transformation, and more.
