"I love seeing the US government and startups work together for the greater good.\u00A0No matter your political preference, the current administration in the White House has been\u00A0embracing technology more than ever before, and that's awesome.\r\n\r\nBack in January, we were proud to announce that Codecademy and the White House partnered up to teach America's youth how to code. Now, the White House is at it again, partnering up with\u00A0GroupMe, Gilt Groupe,\u00A0Tumblr, Knewton, OnSwipe, SV Angel\u00A0and JIBE for\u00A0SummerQAmp, a movement to create internships at leading tech companies.\r\n\r\nSummerQAmp, launching today, is a nationwide initiative to train a new workforce in high-tech skills and help create tech jobs for American youth. It was developed as a commitment to the White House\u2019s\u00A0Summer Jobs+\u00A0initiative, a call to action for businesses, non-profits and government to work together to provide pathways to employment for low-income and disconnected youth this summer.\r\n\r\nThe initiative's mission\u00A0is to help keep the U.S. at the forefront of innovation, and I can't help but find that real experience at leading companies will help make this a reality. In addition to the tech industry, Jon Bon Jovi is also getting in on\u00A0SummerQAmp, and advocating the effort's ability to\u00A0empower at-risk youth.\r\n\r\nNeedless to say, 2012 is going to be a very big year for tech innovation, and we\u2019re truly excited to be a part of it here at TNW."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
