If you are in a business, labor organization, educational institution, government agency or a nonprofit and are concerned with increasing the pool of IT workers in America through skills development then you may be interested in this conference. The National Policy Association (NPA) is holding a one-day information technology workforce development conference at the Hyatt Regency Crown Center Hotel in Kansas City, MO on December 12. The conference, entitled "Enlarging the Pool of IT Workers to Meet Tomorrow's Needs", will explore closing the IT skills gap so that individuals and communities not traditionally found in the IT labor pool (women, minorities, seniors, people with disabilities, rural areas, and inner cities) can gain the opportunity to participate in the new economy workforce. We will be looking at what the barriers are, how to overcome them and the training and skills that are needed. This will be accomplished through a series of panel presentations and discussions. The cost is $100 (including lunch) and the registration deadline is December 3. Information about NPA and the conference (including registration form) are available online at NPA's web site: www.npa1.org or you can contact me directly.
