There is a growing need for technology professionals in government, social service, and civil society organizations. These are sectors that have not traditionally been part of the global demand for technology talent, and this trend will strain the technology workforce. Universities are not yet prepared to meet this important need. In recent years, a number of funding organizations, including the Mastercard Impact Fund, Ford Foundation, Hewlett Foundation, Schmidt Futures, Siegel Family Endowment, Raikes Foundation have jointly supported New America’s Public Interest Technology University Network (PIT-UN), now comprising 55 universities across the United States and 4 global universities. The purpose of the group is to “grow a new generation of civic-minded technologists and digitally fluent policy leaders,” with the ultimate goal of addressing the inequalities that have come about as the result of technological change. At the same time, we are seeing a record amount of capital fueling the private tech industry as investments in emerging technology companies grow at a faster rate and with more generous early-stage seed funding than ever before. This wave of unprecedented investment promises to remake the infrastructure of how we live, work, and play over the coming decade. This wave should bring with it a wave of public and private funding from governments, corporations, and foundations to create a talent infrastructure to deliver on this growth. PIT-UN and its members are well positioned to leverage these funds in the service of initiatives and programs that are in the service of the greater good. Join our panel for an important conversation about the future of the nascent field of public interest technology and the role of the philanthropic sector in its emergence.
