Overview
Information technology (IT) is rapidly transforming the way organizations operate, driving employer demand for new skills to stay competitive. As opportunities advance in artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, cloud computing, and digital infrastructure, the IT industry is increasingly seeking qualified candidates to fill those roles. Organizations are exploring a variety of approaches, such as apprenticeship programs and skills-based hiring, to include workers with disabilities in the IT industry and the future of work.
Join the Employer Assistance and Resource Network on Disability (EARN) and representatives from Apprenti for a free webinar exploring today’s technology workforce. This session will examine how employers are expanding access to tech careers and preparing disabled workers for success. Speakers will share insights from the IT sector, discuss innovative training and career-entry models, and highlight practical examples of how organizations are creating pathways into high-demand occupations.
