Uplift, Inc. to pilot OPEN IT School Concept to reduce shortage of computer programmers

DETROIT - Nov. 28, 2017 - PRLog -- Uplift, Inc. is in the process of transitioning Automation Workz from an outreach/ recruiting event to Automation Workz 4 U, an OPEN IT SCHOOL, for residents who are struggling to find time to attend skills retraining. Many Detroiters are in poverty as they had to secure minimum wage jobs after suffering massive layoffs when manufacturing transitioned to automation. These Detroiters don't have time to "attend" IT classes to update their skills, but they do desire jobs as computer programmers.
