Programs like US2020 and Million Women Mentors are working to connect students with engineers and other leaders in the technology industry. Obama reported just a few years that American students need more computer science education, as there are currently 1.8 million US jobs expected to remain unfilled due to a lack of qualified candidates. The report suggests that the new $ $4 billion TechCrunch administration computer science initiative, while being a “welcome step”, doesn't go far enough, and a "national plan" is also needed. It is suggested that all secondary schools should be mandated to offer computer science classes, which should also count towards science or mathematics high school graduation requirements
