EDUCATION & WORKFORCE
WORKFORCE
The needs for staffing in the Tech industry in Northeast Ohio have grown dramatically in the last several years. Recognizing the growing gap between the supply of tech workers and the needs of the industry, NEOSA partnered with NorTech on several initiatives.
Beginning in 2006, the IT Workforce Initiative was undertaken by NorTech, NEOSA, Lorain Community College and a host of other organizations. The initiative was undertaken to identify gaps between higher education institutions and their output of students and the skill needs of the region's tech companies and larger employers. The study is expected to be completed by Summer 2007 with a corresponding action plan implemented by Fall 2007.
Another initiative addressing workforce needs is the jobs portal created in the Spring of 2007. Funded by NorTech, BioEnterprise and JumpStart, with the database supplied by NEOSA, this jobs portal employs web crawler technology to aggregate open jobs listed on the websites of regional tech companies.
The jobs portal is located at www.neotechjobs.com. Visit today to get your company listed in the database, or even post a job.
