A very interesting and pertinent news story was featured in our local newspaper today. It described the establishment of an information technology academy, now recruiting for its first year, within an area public high school. The project, which is funded through a variety of national, public (college) and private sources, was the result of the local chamber of commerce learning from employers that the area was lacking in a trained IT workforce. A good example of the community and educators working together to help respond to a real-life need!
