Virtual Job Expo Set July 15

(PRESS RELEASE)_West Palm Beach, FL – The tech industry is booming in South Florida, and companies across the tri-county area are hiring. Palm Beach Tech, a nonprofit celebrating its 5th year leading the expansion of South Florida’s footprint in the technology sector, is hosting its second Virtual Job Expo of the year on Wednesday, July 15, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. to facilitate the introduction of employers to job seekers in the area.
 
Job openings for entry level developers to senior data scientists will be featured from more than 25 companies from Miami to Palm Beach in the virtual expo, which is free for job seekers to attend. Registration information can be found here.
 
Palm Beach Tech will once again partner with Premier Virtual, a South Florida-based software developer who created a unique opportunity for job seekers and companies to experience direct connectivity through its enhanced virtual platform.
