Computer Science for All Ages
Computer science skills are essential for today's students to secure the jobs of the future. But, less than one in four K-12 schools teach any computer science classes, even though nine out of ten parents say they want them taught in their children’s schools. At the same time, adults who are already in the workforce must have the opportunity to retrain and update their skill sets as jobs evolve. TechNet supports initiatives that provide computer science education opportunities for young people, and many tech companies drive their own programs that position Americans of all ages and backgrounds for exciting careers in computer science.
