Businesses searching for technology employees in South Florida often have the same complaint: There isn’t enough high-quality talent in the region to fill those jobs. Not everyone agrees with that assessment. While local colleges and universities are graduating students with technology degrees, many struggle to land jobs in the tri-county area. Instead, companies often import talent or hire remote workers for those positions, according to a report from Miami Tech Works, a nonprofit initiative powered by a $10 million grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration’s Good Jobs Challenge. But it’s reductive to argue that the problem only lies with local workers and graduates, said Miami Tech Works Director Terri-Ann Brown. Get the full story:
