I used to earn $10 an hour as a truck driver. After taking a free 22-week intensive training course, I now work full-time at Foursquare, earning over $80,000 a year.

I couldn’t break out of low-paying customer service roles. So I took a year-long, tuition-free training program for women and now work as a web developer earning double my previous salary.

After losing my job, and my home, a TechHire training program helped me retrain so I could transition into the tech industry. Now I have a successful IT career at the University of Kansas Hospital earning $36 per hour.

What Fortune 500 companies saw by hiring from nontraditional talent pools.

The partnership with TechHire Rhode Island helped us reach candidates that we had not found through our traditional recruiting methods.

We hired based on this training, and not on a requisite college degree. We would recommend TechHire candidates to companies searching for top-tier talent!

Create the jobs that make communities thrive

TechHire helps places big and small create more jobs and stronger economies by training the next generation of technology workers.

Because of TechHireRI and other initiatives that develop the skills people need to compete, businesses like GE Digital are taking a fresh look at our state.

By preparing our students and retraining our labor force for lucrative high-tech jobs, we can create a more diverse new generation of innovators and entrepreneurs and build a sustainable and prosperous future for our state.

Help recode the American economy

TechHire, an initiative powered by the Opportunity@Work nonprofit, is a nationwide, community-based movement that helps underrepresented job seekers start careers in the Technology industry. We partner with education providers from across the tech community to teach in-demand skills to people who want to take part in the modern economy—from overlooked youth, to veterans, to the long-term unemployed. Then, TechHire helps them find jobs by connecting them to a network of employers looking for tech talent.

In 2015, our pilot year, we grew a network of 237 training partners and 1300 employers, in 51 communities across the country, to help 2300 people find jobs.

And we’re just getting started. 21 new communities—big cities and small towns—are joining the initiative, with even more on the way.
