Abstract
This chapter begins by explaining how the down skilling of IT occupations and the rising importance of soft skills have created an opportunity for short-term training programs to prepare less-educated students for IT jobs. It then looks at outcomes for ninety-three graduates from six different nonprofit training programs in the New York metropolitan region, the San Francisco Bay Area, and the Washington, DC, region. Repeated interviews with this sample over the course of three years suggest that most graduates of short-term training programs experience some success in IT. Nevertheless, particularly for those women with little or no college education, upward mobility in IT remains out of reach.
