Letter from FIRST President, Paul Gudonis
To the FIRST Community:
In our 21st century economy, many open positions require technology skills and knowledge that job seekers do not possess. Company executives lament that their businesses could grow faster, if only they could find qualified people...Who will fill these jobs in our economy, where products and services increasingly require a technically literate workforce?...That's precisely where FIRST and the FIRST Community play a major role.
