“Upskill Together is a creative approach to help close the cloud skills gap by better distributing access and opportunity to underrepresented talent. The program showcases the potential of our higher education AWS Academy members and SkillStorm, an AWS Training Provider, working together to address this industry-wide crisis."

“In many cases, the persistent inequities that have long plagued the tech industry can be traced back to traditional approaches to recruiting and hiring. Salesforce’s commitment to addressing this challenge is what led us to make the ambitious commitment to have 50% of our U.S. employees come from underrepresented groups by 2023. This initiative, which extends our existing partnership with SkillStorm, is helping us realize that vision — and enabling more employers to embrace new approaches to talent development and upskilling, with the aim of breaking down the barriers that have kept too many communities from pursuing economic mobility.”

The widening gap between employer demand for technology workers and candidates to fill these roles necessitates new thinking and innovative approaches to bring more people from more diverse backgrounds and experiences into the tech workforce. The Upskill Together program led by SkillStorm and its academic and industry partners holds great promise. CompTIA is pleased to be a part of this important initiative.”
