The San Francisco ICT Pathways Project is completing the first year of its three-year effort to define, promote and facilitate a collaborative approach to filling the ICT workforce development pipeline in the San Francisco/Bay Area. With just two years left on the grant from BATEC, we're excited to report on the achievement of significant milestones and the development of mutually beneficial partnerships with the partners listed above that promise to sustain the outcomes and work in progress. Now is the time to vet our findings, outcomes, and plans for the next two years with our business advisory. Your assessment and feedback provides essential guidance and your participation will be extremely valuable.   

The objectives of this meeting are to

• Update stakeholders on project progress and outcomes
• Share how a SF ICT workforce ecosystem is forming
