Early in 2023, techNL launched the Find Your Future in Tech program, an investment of $27.2 million to provide funded training and upskilling opportunities for tech-related roles in Newfoundland & Labrador, to ultimately support the long-term growth of the tech sector. The program, which gives precedence to equity-priority groups, has already made significant progress and impact, affecting the lives of many through training and upskilling opportunities and creating awareness about the tech sector in Newfoundland & Labrador through a digital and traditional marketing campaign.
The initiative, originally launched with an investment of $27.2 million, was designed to strengthen Newfoundland and Labrador’s technology sector. Due to the initial success and impact of this initiative, additional funding was secured in the fall of 2023, bringing the total project investment to $32.5 million. This extension has been focusing on enhancing training and upskilling opportunities for more Newfoundlanders and Labradorians.
We are proud to share this interim report, which highlights the significance and impact of the program as of December 2023. techNL looks forward to continuing to share updates on the progress and success of the program, as we continue to raise the visibility and support the growth of the tech sector and province for years to come.
