The New England Regional Developers, Inc purpose is to organize, educate and advance the skills of web designers and developers in the New England region. It seeks to do this primarily through nurturing a self-sustaining mentoring community for its local IT industry with efforts, trainings and events year round.
A registered US 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, NERD has identified and defined the major issues facing its community and industry today. The most visible symptom of these issues is the growing labor shortage in the field of IT.
NERD believes that our IT teams are not as strong as they could be due to irrationalities lingering from society's past. The NERD project identifies areas of the population that have a harder time making it into IT careers and works to remove those challenges or barriers. It also works to effect increase in industry retention rates.
