      ab: The article looks at employment and training in the computer field. The authors express concern about a shortage of information technology (IT) technicians, saying that computer science students with bachelor's degrees tend to take higher-level jobs designing computer programs, while two-year programs such as those at community colleges cannot currently train enough IT technicians to meet the growing need. They also say that many U.S. workers in various fields displaced by computers and automation could be retrained as IT technicians if more such educational programs were available. Topics include Regional Talent Innovation Networks (RETAINs), nonprofit organizations that link schools, colleges, and workplaces to promote STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education.
