The issue of brain drain, or losing workforce talent, is a real concern for innovation hubs around the country. While there are a myriad of tangential concerns — cost of living, livability, schools — the problem boils down to one key issue: workforce talent goes where job opportunities exist. Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Central and Northern PA has been laser-focused on bringing — and keeping — high-paying jobs in Pennsylvania for the past 30 years, and it’s never been more important than today.
“Ben Franklin keeps high-paying jobs in Pennsylvania by focusing on the needs of local, innovative tech-based companies and small manufacturers, and the entrepreneurs who lead those companies,” President and CEO Steve Brawley said. “We help startups survive their higher-risk, formative years and lay a stable foundation to build upon, so they can attract and retain talent in Pennsylvania.”
He said that the jobs Ben Franklin tech companies create are in industries that pay higher-than-average starting salaries. Most importantly, they are creating the kinds of jobs that workforce talent seeks to build their careers, right here in Pennsylvania.
