The CEO of IBM, Ginni Rometty, said Big Blue will be making some heavy investments in its U.S. workforce — and that it plans to hire 25,000 staffers and spend $1 billion in training over the next four years. That’s according to a piece she wrote for USA Today.

The company later clarified to CNBC that this was not a “hard commitment,” but rather “a plan to hire up to that many if business conditions allow over coming years.”

Back in May of this year, IBM told The Wall Street Journal it had over 20,000 open positions to fill after a restructuring that apparently resulted in thousands of layoffs.

Rometty’s editorial in USA Today included her vision of “new collar” jobs that may not require an advanced education — but rather could be learned in a modified high school education, as CNBC reported.

“As industries from manufacturing to agriculture are reshaped by data science and cloud computing, jobs are being created that demand new skills — which in turn requires new approaches to education, training and recruiting,” Rometty wrote.

She also recently wrote to President-Elect Donald Trump. Today at Trump Tower, many tech leaders will be meeting with the president-elect to discuss jobs in America.
