Support policies that address the systemic professional talent shortage in the U.S. while continuing to meet near-term needs. The U.S. has for many years experienced a shortage of highly-skilled technical professionals. A qualified workforce is essential to the U.S. economy and the success of the IT and engineering staffing industry. TechServe Alliance supports policies that address the systemic talent shortage including increasing resources for STEM education and worker training. Further, to meet near-term needs, Congress should provide access to a reasonable number of IT and engineering professionals on H-1B visas without any policy changes that discriminate against U.S.-based IT and engineering staffing firms.
