Helping Narrow the Talent Gap

One of the most pressing concerns facing the iMasons community is the talent gap – there simply aren’t enough people in the pipeline to fill the positions needed to enable our industry to continue its forecast rate of growth.  These positions exist at all levels, from entry level Data Center Technicians, to engineers, to network administrators, to senior full-stack infrastructure managers.  Because our industry is growing so fast and is starved for people it offers challenging and interesting positions all over the world that pay substantially better than equivalent positions in other industries.

To help address this gap, iMasons manages a scholarship program to encourage and support the development of people who are entering, or are already in, our industry.  We’ve partnered with, and offer scholarships to, high-quality training and education programs focused on preparing people to enter, or to succeed and move up in, the digital infrastructure industry, including professional certification courses, 2-year AAS degrees at accredited community colleges, and BS and MS degrees at Universities.  Some of the programs are on-line and can be taken anywhere, and others require on-site participation. For the list of eligible education and training institutions and specific degrees or courses, click here. If a digital infrastructure-specific program you are interested in is not on our list please contact us so we can consider evaluating and adding it.

iMasons is also committed to leveraging and developing one of the most under-utilized sources of talent – women.  We are committed to making at least 50% of our scholarship awards to women, if possible. We are also committed to promoting and developing a diverse workforce and encourage people from all under-represented communities to apply.
