We all care about filling tech jobs, whether it’s driven by the economic mobility of one person or the economic impact to our region, or both. Led by KC Tech Council, we are building a coalition of employers, educators, training programs and ecosystem supporters. Together, we'll embark on a journey to collect data and insights in support of an employer-led tech talent pipeline to better understand:

• How many individuals are currently building or have the required skills and abilities for KC tech jobs for today and for the future?
• During the points of transition between learning/working/ or advancing careers is there clarity in how to navigate to the next step in the journey?
• What barriers exist in informing/responding to employer needs?
• What resources might be required to establish more connectivity across our established ecosystem? How could that set Kansas City apart as a region saturated by a predictable and sustainable tech talent pipeline?

Our goal is to understand how to get 100% of tech jobs in Kansas City filled by Kansas City!
