Help Justify Our Region’s Need for Tech Talent

Don’t Miss These Spring Regional Tech Talent Events

The Virginia Tech Center for Economic and Community Engagement is leading a data collection process of the most needed jobs, skills, and competencies employers need immediately and in the future. They need your input for one of two 10-minute surveys to determine this region’s talent needs.

There’s a direct benefit to employers as well:

  • Actionable regional workforce data and in-demand skills
  • Asset map of education and training resources available in the region
  • Prioritized list of projects to strengthen talent pathways within industry

LIFE SCIENCE AND BIOTECH COMPANIES — Take this Survey

TRANSPORTATION AND AUTONOMOUS MANUFACTURING COMPANIES — Take this Survey

If you prefer a one-on-one interview instead, contact emmaleewagner@vt.edu.

Feedback from employers will be used to develop proposals for high-impact projects that will benefit the ecosystem of these regional industries. (This project is funded by Growth and Opportunity Virginia and led by the Virginia Tech Center for Economic and Community Engagement staff.)
