A new-collar worker is an individual who develops technical and

application developers and cloud computing
specialists.

Etymology

The term "new-collar job" is a play on

“blue-collar job”. It originated with IBM's CEO Ginni Rometty,[3][4] relating to the company's efforts to increase the number of people qualified for technology jobs.[5] In November 2016, Rometty wrote an open letter to then-President-elect Donald Trump, which introduced the idea of "new-collar jobs" and urged his support for the creation of these types of roles.[6][5] Rometty coined the term in response to new employment designations as industries are moving into a new technology era,[3][7] and jobs are created that require new skills in data science, cloud computing and artificial intelligence.[8]

Occupations and education requirements

According to Rometty, "relevant skills, sometimes obtained through vocational training", are the qualifying characteristics of new-collar work.

P-Tech program for high-school and associate degree.[4]

Usage

In the United States, the "New Collar Jobs Act" was released by Representatives

Ann McLane Kuster (New Hampshire) in July 2017. The Act sought to provide scholarship funding and debt relief for individuals who study cybersecurity and take up cybersecurity roles, as well as establishing tax breaks for employers that offer cybersecurity training.[13] In August 2017, Virginia Lt. Governor Ralph Northam announced a vocational training program titled "Get Skilled, Get A Job, and Give Back", focused on skills for new-collar jobs.[12]
