The Foundry

Written by Alan Hagerman on March 28, 2018. Posted in Workforce Development.

What is the Bay Innovation Foundry? Simply put, it is a new way of addressing and perhaps solving the on-going questions:

How does the workforce get experience while in school? Traditional internships can work, but those programs are often loosely managed and disorganized, netting less than favorable results. Internships are also very limited in scope and scale, so only a small number of student to company placements result.

Students are often challenged to get out in the job market as fast as they can, because they need the experience. However, this translates to less than ideal skills to hire.

Companies in Hampton Roads need to be able to leverage workforce both out of school as well as exiting military so that their growth can remain in Hampton Roads.

Students need to come to companies with state-of-the art knowledge AND experience in its applications.
