Bridging the GAP

We build too many walls and not enough bridges. The Technology Association of Georgia has launched Bridge Builders to remove the walls impeding progress and innovation in Georgia. Bridge Builders is an innovative initiative designed to bring the technology and business community together to drive change.

The Bridge to More Opportunity

The goals are clear and attainable. Bridge Builders aims to create a more equitable technology workforce representative of our population. Specifically, in the next five years, Bridge Builders wants to advance 1,000 Georgians in technology careers over the next 5 years through:

  • Helping people gain the right skills
  • Connecting entrepreneurs with needed resources
  • Promoting career paths in technology

Bridge Builders will advocate for Georgians to achieve higher level management and executive jobs through TAG member companies, public advocacy, and programming.

Additionally, the initiative aims for more disadvantaged membership in all TAG boards, societies, committees, and task forces with a goal of 25 percent of people from different backgrounds by end of 2023.
