Workforce Equity & Record Unemployment Can Narrow the Tech Skills Gap
Twin Cities Startup Week has gone virtual for the first time ever with a month worth of virtual sessions celebrating the thriving startup and innovation ecosystem in Minnesota. CompTIA Tech Career Academy is excited to be involved again this year with a panel session, Success Stories: How Interest in Workforce Equity & Record Unemployment Can Narrow the Tech Skills Gap, on Tuesday, September 15 from 11:00 a.m. - Noon CT.

- Shafie Abshir of SUCCESS Computer Consulting
