Call for Counselors at the PENNSYLVANIA COMPUTER SCIENCE FOR ALL SUMMIT
“As one of the fastest growing sectors in Pennsylvania’s economy, there are over 18,000+ unfilled computer science jobs with an average salary of $80,000 and a projected growth of up to 26% annually. To help meet this career demand and fill the gap, Pennsylvania, under the leadership of Governor Tom Wolf and Secretary Pedro Rivera, is working to create and offer opportunities for every learning in computer science.”
The Pennsylvania Department of Education, NCWIT Counselors 4 Computers and Pennsylvania School Counselors Association will host workshops centered around “Career Advising for 21st Century Careers and Tech Tools”, and “Technology Leadership Institute”. The workshops have two majors goals. First, to expand school counselors' understanding of computing related careers to better equip our students with the knowledge and skills to integrate their passions in the rapidly changing labor market. Second, to expand school counselors' personal technology toolbox to find ways to make our practices more efficient and sustainable.
Thursday and Friday will expand on the topics from the first day. Counselors will gain a deeper understanding of current and emerging topics of career education as integrated with the CEWs, career portfolios, and the new world of work. The Leadership Institute will explore how to foster design-based thinking, exploring labor trends in digital technology, encourage women and underrepresented students in computing careers, how computing careers can help students rise out of poverty. Join us to learn how to advocate for more Computer Science in your own district.
