Workforce

Überblick

Technology is changing the skills people need at work and creating new jobs across the economy. ITI works with policymakers to strengthen STEM education, expand training and career pathways, recruit high-skilled talent to the U.S., and help current and future workers develop the skills they need as technology changes.

ITI’s position: Strengthening education and workforce training

ITI supports policies that connect education and training with the needs of a changing economy. That includes preparing students for technology careers, expanding training for workers at all stages of their careers, and building the skilled workforce needed to support new investment and job growth.

1. Strengthen STEM education: ITI supports investment in science, technology, engineering, math, and computer science education and pathways that prepare students for technology-driven careers.
2. Expand training for workers as industries change: ITI supports retraining, apprenticeships, and other workforce programs that give all workers opportunities to gain skills for growing industries and technology-driven jobs.
3. Build the talent employers need: ITI supports public-private partnerships to address shortages of qualified workers, align training with employer needs, and advance high-skilled immigration policies that help U.S. companies recruit and retain talent from around the world.
