Utah kids need tech skills. Utah school districts need tech support.

In a match funded by the state, the Millard School District will create a way for students in 11 districts to gain experience in information technology by helping with computer crashes and other electronic woes in their own schools.

The partnership is one of a dozen that will divide $2.1 million in state grants to develop a skilled workforce for Utah’s leading industries.

The "Talent Ready Utah" grants are designed to bolster collaboration among industry, educational institutions and economic-development leaders to create "talent pipelines for high-demand, high-wage occupations," Nate McDonald, spokesman for the state Department of Workforce Services, said in a news release.
