Description
The Nashville Technology Council is excited to begin its work to explore opportunities for accelerated learning programs to fill the talent needs of Middle TN. To be successful, this work must be informed by the technology community to better understand the need today and in the future, the skills necessary for success, and the pathway potential for entry level technology professionals in companies like yours. We appreciate the partnership of key members of the technology community in this work, including the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce, the IT Skills Panel, the Nashville Software School, and the Iron Yard.
About this focus group:
Programming and Development positions design, code, develop, test, and maintain various software solutions, including computer applications, web applications and websites, and software systems. In most cases these jobs require highly specific technical skills on various computer “languages” and could work in very flexible environments with non-traditional work hours. These jobs are well-suited for creative, detail-oriented problem solvers. A career in Programming and Development would be a good fit for individuals who are investigative, realistic, and conventional.
