A practical, nonpartisan technology workforce agenda.

Evidence-informed, employer-aware, worker-focused, collaborative and forward-looking.

Priorities

Six areas that decide America's technology competitiveness.

UTECA advances a practical, nonpartisan agenda focused on long-term American competitiveness.

Domestic technology employment
AI and workforce transformation
Skills and continuous learning
Education-to-employment pathways
Public-sector technology workforce capability
American technology competitiveness

Jobs

Not ~~isolationism~~.
Competitiveness.

UTECA supports policies and workforce strategies that make the United States a more competitive location for high-value technology work.

Keeping more technology jobs in America does not require isolation from the global economy. It requires building domestic skills, productivity, innovation capacity and workforce systems that make American talent highly competitive.

AI & Automation

A workforce strategy as serious as the technology strategy.

UTECA supports policies that encourage innovation while helping workers and employers prepare for changing roles, skills and operating models.

The goal should be an AI-augmented American workforce capable of leading adoption rather than reacting to displacement.

Skills & Education

Education that keeps pace with employer demand.

UTECA supports stronger connections among employers, labor, colleges, universities, community colleges, training organizations and workforce programs.

Employer-informed education
College-to-career pathways
Apprenticeships and alternative pathways
Reskilling and upskilling
Lifelong technology education

Public Sector

Technology that public services depend on.

UTECA supports strengthening the domestic workforce available for public-sector cybersecurity, AI, cloud, software, data, digital infrastructure and modernization programs.

Where appropriate and lawful, public procurement and workforce policy can encourage domestic workforce development, skills investment, apprenticeships and sustainable technology career pathways.

Competitiveness

America's technology workforce is a strategic economic asset.

UTECA supports an ecosystem in which innovation, employers, workers, education, labor and government reinforce one another.

The United States should compete not simply on labor cost, but on capability, productivity, innovation, reliability, security and the quality of its technology workforce.

Government Relations

A practical resource for legislators, agencies and public officials.

Workforce data and employer perspectives
Policy briefings and legislative education
Employer-labor roundtables
Research and issue papers
Public testimony and stakeholder engagement
Technology workforce collaboration with federal, state and local government

UTECA's government-relations work is nonpartisan and focused on policies that strengthen America's technology workforce and economic competitiveness.
