Government's need for skilled technology workers is critical to address such complex national challenges as disaster response, cybersecurity and homeland security. In particular, the scarcity of trained information technology talent coupled with heavy competition from private industry for these trained individuals is a pressing issue in government. The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that by 2020, over 1 million programming jobs will go unfilled.

This webinar will feature an in-depth discussion of how government is tackling these issues through workforce optimization and training.
