Too few New Yorkers are equipped with the right skills to fill the good jobs we have today, let alone the new ones that will be created in the coming years.
The new curriculum, for students pursuing two-year and four-year degrees, is part of the Business Roundtable’s Workforce Partnership Initiative, which brings educators together with business leaders to develop courses that are better aligned with industry needs. The CUNY partnership is a potential model for other cities and regions, to ensure that the nation’s college students graduate with the right skills to work in high-tech careers.
The first is moving beyond conventional forms of recruiting and hiring that have overlooked new pools of talent and left too many people without access to good jobs in tech. This means changing hiring requirements so that skills are a key qualification when assessing candidates. And it means providing access to these jobs through non-traditional pathways, such as paid apprenticeships.
Improvements include adding relevant problem sets, rephrasing and updating case studies to make them ultra-relevant, and making sure that course content uses contemporary terms and definitions. IBM and the Business Roundtable industry partners are involved at each step and will continue to provide counsel and faculty mentoring to ensure these courses will put students on track for well-paying careers.
