The Connecticut Tech Talent Accelerator: Partnerships Closing the Tech Skills Gap
Candace Williams; Madison Myers; Owen Simon
Business-Higher Education Forum
Connecticut must ensure that its workforce remains competitive and that it continues to be a place where individuals and organizations thrive economically in a time of rapid and constant technological change. With an eye on the future, its leaders have recognized that they must fully leverage its higher education ecosystem in collaboration with businesses in the state to meet the growing demand for tech talent. In 2022, the state provided funds to support the Tech Talent Accelerator (TTA), led by the New England Board of Higher Education and the Business-Higher Education Forum. This case study details the goals of TTA, its history and methodology, and most importantly, its successes and impact in creating high-impact partnerships between business and higher education to increase the supply of tech workers. [This initiative was made possible with funding from the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development and support from the Connecticut Office of Workforce Strategy.]
