There are over 410,020 open computing jobs in the US and only 71,226 Computer Science students graduated into the tech workforce last year. This gap exists because only 47% of US public high schools offer Computer Science. #MyStartInTech is a campaign dedicated to drawing attention to this cause. In this post, we will hear from 75+ tech professionals who share their amazing stories and we hope that these amazing stories will help inspire more students to take up Computer Science in schools. The economic impact of the tech industry is valued at $1.9 billion.
