ABOUT DIGITAL LAKES

Technology is an essential piece of every company across all industries. As a result, the unmet demand for tech talent is inhibiting growth for Michigan’s corporations, our ability to attract new companies to the state, and ultimately, our economy.

 

Despite strong demand for tech talent, nearly 40% of IT graduates from Michigan’s outstanding universities pursue employment outside the state. In order for Michigan to be a competitive leader in this crucial arena, we must be willing to share our story and present a compelling value proposition.
