Spectrum Supports Launch of Stamford Tech Hub to Expand Local Workforce and Training

As one of Connecticut’s largest employers, Spectrum is partnering with the city of Stamford, the Stamford Partnership and dae to launch the Stamford Tech Hub – a new workforce development initiative aimed at creating more opportunities for local job seekers.

Spectrum has committed $5 million over 10 years to support this initiative and will welcome learners into its headquarters to complete free technology training. Offerings will support all skill-levels and include a 1-day digital immersion program, a 3-week tech career exploration program, and 6-month tech career readiness course.

With the first wave of training programs set to kick-off in early April, Spectrum leaders, workforce development advocates, and local and state officials came together to celebrate this milestone at our headquarters. 

Both Stamford Mayor Caroline Simmons and Spectrum CHRO Paul Marchand remarked on the importance of this partnership and its impact on the local community.

“I am grateful for the collaboration between Charter Communications, the Stamford Partnership, dae, and our local workforce leaders as we work together to expand economic opportunity and prepare Stamford’s workforce for the future," shared Mayor Caroline Simmons.

By connecting local residents with immersive technology programs and training, they’ll be able to develop the skills needed to grow in technology-focused jobs, and we will be able to connect directly with local job seekers who have an interest in high-demand areas like software development, cybersecurity, data analytics, and digital media.

 “As a leading U.S. connectivity provider with 1,800 employees based in Stamford, we understand the importance of a highly skilled workforce and The Stamford Tech Hub will help develop those future leaders, foster innovation and further support the city’s economic growth,” shared Paul.

The Stamford Partnership played an instrumental role in shaping the initiative, advocating for workforce development and economic growth in the region. As a key partner, dae will lead these efforts with its hands-on, real-world approach to education, ensuring participants gain practical skills that align with industry demands.

The Stamford Tech Hub not only provides Spectrum with the opportunity to develop the next generation of talent but will help job seekers build long and successful careers as future members of our team.
