Companies face a critical and chronic tech talent shortage, but their traditional hiring practices screen out a large pool of eager, potentially successful candidates.
STEMatch COMPETE is a company/school collaboration based on business executives’ evaluation of 1-2 year college programs and assessment of student job-readiness - which provides the supplementary training and paid work experience necessary to succeed in tech jobs, for students who can’t afford the cost or time out of the workforce to earn a 4-year college degree.
Leveraging strong, focused 1-2 year college programs
STEMatch works with leading community and minority-serving colleges – with focused programs in cybersecurity, IT support, and software development.
With additional training & experiential learning
STEMatch overlays these programs with business executive-defined work skills training, mentorship, and paid internships.
To deliver a scaled, diverse, expanded talent pipeline
COMPETE partners with tech-driven companies to create a new pipeline of effectively-prepared candidates – and cost efficient recruiting efforts that fit in companies’ current operations.
