The Palm Beach Tech Association has partnered with the Knight Foundation & eMerge Americas to support out of work tech professionals throughout South Florida.
“It’s time for us to come together as one South Florida Tech Community,” said Palm Beach Tech CEO Joe Russo. “We’re trying to do our part to provide hope in difficult time.” Palm Beach Tech also held a Virtual Career Expo on Wednesday attracting 25 companies and 800+ attendees.

Utilizing the new Resume Distributor, the organizations are encouraging everyone seeking positions to submit their Resumes and Elevator Speech. Those will be made available to the HR and Recruiting Directors of companies hiring in South Florida.
Thanks to the generous support of the John S. and James L Knight Foundation, we are offering access to this platform for free to all tech companies hiring in South Florida. “We are proud to support bold and innovative models that help talent and opportunity find each other more readily,” said Miami Program Director Raul Moas.
eMerge Americas is partnering to help market and expand the program’s reach.
