Last week, local IT company Epsilon, Inc. was mentioned in a White House briefing on "Seizing the TechHire Opportunity in Rural America."
Jeffrey Ziets, Director of National Economic Council and Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, and Secretary Tom Vilsack, Secretary of Agriculture, highlighted the opportunities for developing and expanding ecosystems of high-quality IT talent in rural America.
"Madison County, NC will collaborate with local universities and partners
like Tech Talent South to offer accelerated tech training through a new
coding bootcamp, TechRamp Madison. The 13-week program will prepare
graduates for jobs with regional and global technology employers who

(DISYS), Epsilon, Inc. and Tata-BSS."
