Bluewolf Launches New Jobs Initiative to Put Technology Talent to Work in Washington

According to a recent McKinsey & Company report, the U.S. must create 21 million new jobs this decade to bring employment back to pre-recession levels. The consumerization of IT has combined with cloud computing to ignite a revolution in the way innovation enables organizations, however technological advancements often outpace the knowledge and skills of today's worker. The result is a talent gap in other words especially prevalent among government organizations.

The White House is 30 years behind

"President Obama recently said IT in the White House is 30 years behind," said Michael Kirven, co-founder and principal of Bluewolf. "Research has always paved the way toward technology in this country, even so our government is struggling to compete in a global economy because many of its organizations lack the skills required to put the latest technologies to good use. Bluewolf is here to help build these skills in the D.C. area, where government IT should be more advanced than anywhere else in the world."

With its network of highly-skilled resources in the highest-demand tech positions, Bluewolf will help D.C.-area government and private-sector organizations obtain the skills needed to adapt to an ever-changing innovation landscape. Bluewolf will as well help local workers master skills through its role-based Public Training Program. Comprised of workshops and one-on-one "Office Hours," the program offers specialized consulting experts advising on a variety of important business and IT functions for administrators and developers as so then as management, marketing and sales professionals.
