Taking Ownership

Education changes people’s lives. It is the one great equalizer in life.

Today, we are faced with a growing tech skills shortage and lack of diversity in the workforce while other states are moving forward. CS4NC (Computer Science for North Carolina) will transform education and lives throughout North Carolina. Students in all 100 counties will benefit from Cherokee to Dare. We must provide our students with the necessary skills to compete in a tech enabled economy. To accomplish this initiative, we are building a collaborative team that includes individuals, businesses, government, and local communities to tackle this from a different direction, allowing everyone to take ownership of our students’ success.

North Carolina has always taken on aspirational ideas and made these bold initiatives a reality. You only have to look at the State University system, Research Triangle Park, or the Community College system to recognize the bold history of leadership in our State. I believe that CS4NC will prove to be just as transformational. . . .
