#Reflections on TECHnique: Unique Perspectives in the Tech Ecosystem Last Wednesday at?Ion Houston, Per Scholas, Houston hosted the TECHnique panel discussion, bringing together tech leaders to share insights on the #evolvingworkforce, #careertransitions, and the role of #AI. The conversation illuminated?3?? key???? themes that are shaping the future of tech careers ??. 1??Technical Skills Alone Aren’t Enough While tech training is critical, it’s only one piece of the puzzle???. Employers consistently emphasize the importance of professional development—#softskills, #adaptability, and #networking. Many job seekers lack social capital. Workforce development programs like Per Scholas serve as that crucial bridge, not only equipping graduates with technical expertise but also connecting them with #mentors, #careerpathways, and validation from industry leaders. 2??Career Transitions into Tech Are More Accessible Than Ever The idea that you need a purely technical background to work in tech is outdated. One panelist, a former geologist, shared his journey of pivoting from the energy sector to tech by immersing himself in innovation, AI, and data science. The takeaway? Transferable skills are powerful???. Whether you come from HR, marketing, or finance, there’s a place for you in #tech if you’re curious and willing to embrace new methodologies like #designthinking, #agile, and lean #startup principles. 3?? AI Is Reshaping Jobs, Not Just Replacing Them AI’s rapid adoption is transforming the workforce at an unprecedented rate. Rather than eliminating jobs entirely, AI is shifting roles and creating new opportunities. For instance, analysts who once manually gathered industry insights are now leveraging AI-driven automation, allowing them to focus on higher-level strategy. The key is AI literacy—knowing how to use AI as a tool?????for efficiency and upskilling, rather than viewing it as a replacement for human expertise. ?? The Future of Tech Careers The panelists reinforced a crucial message: the future belongs to those who are adaptable, continuously learning, and open to mentorship. AI is accelerating change, but #humancreativity, #decisionmaking, and #strategicthinking remain invaluable. As Houston’s tech ecosystem grows, we must ensure that upskilling opportunities keep pace so that talent—regardless of background—can thrive in this evolving landscape. ?? Again, a huge thank you to our panelists and attendees for an insightful discussion! Let’s continue fostering innovation and inclusivity in tech. #TECHnique #TechCareers #FutureOfWork
