This week on the podcast, we listen in to some audio from a recent Information Technology (IT) Expert Panel with Winona State University Rochester and Collider Coworking. This panel event facilitated an “open and fluid” conversation about IT in Rochester, talent and educational needs in the field, and how higher education organizations like Winona State can help to fill these gaps. The podcast today is the first in this two part series from the discussion. The expert IT panel at the event included David Borrillo of CoreLogic, Nadia Wood of The Hybrids, and Chris Lukenbill of Fresh with Edge. On the podcast today, the panelists talk about how their companies are solving problems in today’s marketplace, what IT training gaps they see in the community, and how to attract and hire the right talent for your startup.

“When you’re trying to find people that are willing to take that same jump, and to a certain degree when you’re a small company, you have to find people that are okay without that kind of security.” – Chris Lukenbill, Founder of Fresh with Edge
