California has nearly 75,000 open computing jobs (3.8x the state demand average rate) and more than 70% of STEM careers require computer science. The arts, media and creative services–and even many middle-skills jobs–now run on computer science!

Today’s program will help you gain confidence in your ability to support viable pathways that complement California’s goals of building our diverse Computer Science-ready workforce.
