The best way to close a skills gap is to devise a plan that reaches across the great divide. The Long Island chapter of the Association of Information Technology Professionals hopes to do that by taking its case to school.
The group will sponsor a breakfast forum Tuesday in Jericho at which IT executives will discuss their present and future hiring needs with some university officials. The event starts 8 a.m. in the Milleridge Cottage.
“The Long Island technology brain drain is well documented, but we shouldn’t assume that the battle is lost,” said Barbara Viola, the chapter’s president.
