However, since there are a quarter million open programming jobs in the U.S. that are continually unfilled, there is clearly a disconnect between the roles needed in tech companies and skilled candidates to fill them. Bridging the gap of AZ Tech Talent was the focus of the panel event on May 15th, 2018. And who better to host this skills-gap discussion in the innovation industry than Tesla?

Woz U president, Chris Coleman, sat alongside AZ tech titans, Vivek Dwivedi, VP of Financial Cloud Services at Infosys and Dave Lesser of Scientific Technology Corporation (STC) at the Tesla Motors in Kierland Commons Scottsdale, Arizona to tackle the toughest challenges for employers and educators facing the AZ tech workforce today.
