Description: Shift/Enter provides educational and career development resources, in a welcoming and inclusive environment, for the technical workforce in Charlottesville and the surrounding area.
Shift/Enter’s Job Seekers’ Workshops have helped candidates exploring the tech space develop their job search strategies, refine their resumes, and build confidence in their interviewing. Our ALT talks have engaged and informed audiences on everything from A (agile practices) to Z (zombies).
However, Shift/Enter hasn’t managed to solve the problem that we organized to address. There is a mismatch between the intermediate-to-senior talent that businesses are struggling to find and the entry/transitional level job seekers that Shift/Enter has been serving. As a result, Shift/Enter has not found the proverbial “product/market fit.”
After much soul searching, the board has decided to end the Shift/Enter entity.
