Apprenti is an initiative of the Washington Technology Industry Association (WTIA) created to address the tech talent shortage in Washington State. The tech industry continues to create jobs at a record rate and our local talent pool isn’t keeping pace. The WTIA is working with industry, education, and government professionals to improve investment in higher education and worker re-training to ensure that our region continues as one of the world’s most influential technology hubs.

The Greater Seattle area is one of the fastest growing tech hubs nationwide. With over 230,000 tech industry jobs at 14,000 information and communication technology (ICT) companies, the need for tech talent is high.
