Tech Camp at Central

The second annual Tech Camp finished on July 18th at Central Campus. Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds spoke to the 40 hand-picked students from DMPS middle schools.

 

The need for technology workers continues to grow. According to Reynolds, there will be an additional 1.4 million STEM jobs available by 2020, 72,000 of them right here in Iowa. And those will be jobs that pay 26 per cent higher than non-STEM careers, on average.

 

Tech Journey, Inc. was formed to help students with limited resources pursue careers in technology and prepare to fill those jobs.
