Project Agora
“The goal of Project Agora is to create the most respected place to start, build and supercharge your tech career,” said CompTIA CEO Todd Thibodeaux. “With amazing resources and broad support from our members, partners and industry, Project Agora will help people find success in the tech workforce.”
Recent research from the Learning and Work Institute found that 34% of adults are seeking to change jobs or pursue other career options within the next two years.
“Our challenge is to convert more career-intent people to tech intent,” said Thibodeaux. “We need to tell better stories, more consistently, about how truly great it is to work in tech. The way we get the talent we need is by fighting for it.”
Project Agora will first enable individuals to explore tech jobs and careers. It also creates resources to engage users and convert them from career intent to tech intent.
As such, CompTIA issued a call to action for the industry. It wants it to get involved to build “the best, most comprehensive collection of tech career resources available anywhere.”
