We need skilled workers to rebuild America, but for many, the barrier of education costs stands
in the way. Host Jason Altmire speaks with Jennifer Maher, the executive director of the
TechForce Foundation, about their commitment to helping individuals find career education
opportunities. They also discuss how individuals can apply for scholarships and grants, how
schools can become involved, and other valuable resources.
The TechForce Foundation will award $2.3 million in scholarships and grants this year. Maher
talks about the importance of this funding to enable workers facing financial hardship to pursue
what she calls America’s “new collar” careers.
