The IT industry needs more workers — and more workers need more opportunities. As the philanthropic arm of CompTIA, the world’s largest IT industry association, the Creating IT Futures Foundation is taking on this workforce challenge through research, program development and partnering. We create on-ramps for more people to prepare for, secure and succeed in IT careers. We particularly encourage an IT path for populations that traditionally have been under-represented in the information technology workforce, such as women and ethnic minorities. Founded in 1998, the Creating IT Futures Foundation is registered as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization with the Internal Revenue Service. Thanks to the invaluable support of our partners, we are placing people in family-sustaining work – and solving many of the problems facing our charitable system.
