The new Center is a partnership between NC TECH and MetLife and
is designed to serve as a hub for the state’s tech employers and
employees providing resources, thought leadership, and
collaboration with the overarching goal of fostering growth and
vitality in North Carolina’s technology sector.
North Carolina is one of the fastest-growing states for
technology innovation. More than 293,000 people work in tech jobs,
and the industry delivers an economic impact of more than $47
billion. With generative AI and other emerging technologies as a
backdrop, the industry is as dynamic as ever.
The Center for Technology Workforce Innovation leverages the
strengths of both MetLife and NC TECH. MetLife's global technology
hub, located in Cary, NC and employing 2,600 individuals,
contributes to the wealth of knowledge housed within the Center,
while NC TECH, as the primary voice of the technology industry in
the state, underscores its commitment to advancing tech talent and
workforce development initiatives.
“MetLife has been an active member and supporter of NC TECH
since the establishment of their global technology hub in North
Carolina in 2015,” said Brooks Raiford, CEO of NC TECH. “They have
become one of the region’s largest tech employers, and we are
excited about the long-term impact of MetLife’s partnership,” he
added.
“NC TECH has long been the voice for the North Carolina
technology community and has championed growth in the region,” said
Bill Pappas, MetLife’s Head of Global Technology and Operations.
“At MetLife, we put our customers and the communities we serve at
the center of everything we do, and this partnership is one way we
are supporting the vibrant tech community in our great state while
fostering thought leadership and innovation that extends far
beyond.”
