Mission
Tech jobs remain in high demand across all industry sectors which presents challenges. Open jobs outweigh the number of qualified applicants to fill them.
Through an initiative called Gables TechTank©, the city along with its partners, is bridging the gap by facilitating the upskilling of professionals through training programs. The goal is to provide reliable, sustainable sources of technical talent, data, services, and innovative solutions to organizations located within the City of Coral Gables.
Tech companies that responded to the city’s technical talent needs survey, have rated Cybersecurity as an essential skill, followed in importance by Data Science, AI and Machine Learning, and Full-Stack Development.
Through a Memorandum of Understanding, City of Coral Gables, 4Geeks LLC, and TalentFarm, a division of Beyond Academics LLC, are collaborating to understand the tech needs of the business community, create syllabi to address the technical skills needed of the labor force, and provide the training with certificates and credentials.
