The Westchester County Office of Economic Development, in partnership with the New York City Economic Development Corporation, has launched Quantum Computing and Networking Technology Mobilization (QUANTM) consortium. More than 40 stakeholders from across the New York Metro region, representing more than 25 organizations and institutions have convened to begin developing a strategy for quantum information science and technology (QIST) job growth.
“The core focus of the QUANTM Consortium will be developing plans for promoting broad-based economic growth, creating good-paying jobs, assessing job quality` and helping students and workers gain training for advanced careers. Westchester County is delighted to have a team of innovative and forward-thinking partners at the table for this collaboration – including the New York City Economic Development Corporation – and is committed to driving regional growth in this booming national sector,” said Westchester County Executive George Latimer.
“Westchester County has identified more than 100 workforce development institutions who can help to advance STEM education from classroom through career. These institutions reach diverse audiences and bring unique outreach and engagement methods to the table, all of which will benefit the regional QIST workforce,” said Westchester County Director of Economic Development Bridget Gibbons.
