Public Policy at ITAA
Technology challenges tradition on a daily basis. Telecom and cable solutions come in bundles, not boxes. Blade servers are farmed. Identities both managed and stolen. And high tech public policy is not a game played by yesterday's rules. That's why for over 40 years, ITAA has been the public policy change agent of choice for the IT industry. Through its grassroots to global advocacy network, ITAA offers opportunities to educate policy makers at every level of government.Course to Doubling STEM Graduates Charted
Without disciplined, purposeful action now, the nation's high tech future, and therefore its economic future, is at risk. To remain globally competitive, America must double the number of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) graduates over the next ten years, according to a new white paper by ITAA's Workforce Committee released in October. The paper outlines a public policy strategy to bring the number of STEM graduates from approximately 430,000 to 860,000 by 2015.
