MetroTech is a regional workforce development initiative designed to address the shortage of qualified individuals with technology skills which many employers are experiencing in the metropolitan D.C. area. MetroTech's information/high technology workforce training program is designed to help offset the shortage of well-trained individuals qualified to work in this industry. MetroTech is able to pay for information/high technology training that you need in order to find a job in the fastest growing segment of the economy. This program is employer-driven and is based upon the idea that employers specify the training/certifications they require of a vacant position and the Project will "match" those accordingly. This "customized" training aspect keeps the Project "employer-driven" and responsive to the exact needs of employers.
