This site was founded in May 2015 as a student project at Seattle Central College. Each quarter, a new class takes the reigns and puts their own mark on this truly collaborative project. We are creating an online meeting place for web developers and employers. Our goal is to create a community that serves the needs of both companies and technology professionals.
“Gig” comes from the word “engagement.” The term gig was coined by Jazz musicians in the 1920s and now refers to a variety of regular and irregular work types in the entertainment field. A gig can describe almost any type of temporary or incidental employment. I this case, it can also mean a full-time position at your favorite tech company.
At Gig Central, users and web developers can find work projects that fit their skill sets. They can advertise and promote their achievements. Businesses can find individuals with many different types of specialized knowledge areas and experiences.
Many web developers on Gig Central are current students at Seattle Central College. Our services are also open to recent graduates as well as any skilled job seeker. Our project is managed and grown by students with advice and support from our knowledgeable college instructors.
Gig Central is based in the Seattle area and is currently limited to local employers. Plans are in the works to extend this service to include other cities and be useful for job seekers in other fields.
