STAMFORD — About 1,800 employees are based at Spectrum-services provider Charter Communications’ headquarters next to the downtown Stamford Metro-North Railroad station. Within the next few months, a sizable contingent of students will be working there as well.
Charter executives and local officials announced Wednesday the launch of the Stamford Tech Hub, an initiative funded by the telecommunications giant that will deliver free technology-focused classes to local residents. The new center is the product of extensive discussions in the past few years between Charter officials and Stamford Mayor Caroline Simmons’ administration that have centered on bolstering workforce development in Connecticut’s second-most-populous city.
“We are committed to this city, we are committed to the partnerships here,” Paul Marchand, executive vice president and chief human resources officer at Charter, said in a meeting at the company’s headquarters at 400 Washington Blvd., to announce the new initiative. “Access to the talent here in this city, and in and around the city, was a big reason why we established Stamford as our headquarters.”
