Here’s the data behind the 60+ jobs available at NET/WORK Baltimore

We've got the inside look at the open jobs from companies hiring at the annual event, happening Thursday, March 14.

Let’s level for a moment: We think journalism can have a huge impact on connecting a city’s workforce with growing, innovative companies.

Hopefully you’ve seen our increased focus on content about opportunities and career growth, such as our This Week in Jobs newsletter, our growing local tech jobs board, or last month’s editorial focus on how you can get hired.

We also think that journalism helps us as an organization be smarter about how we deliver info about things we’re promoting — like by taking a deep dive into the data behind the scenes of our tech jobs fair NET/WORK, which goes down this Thursday, March 14, at the University of Baltimore.

Will there be a job there for you? That data says it’s likely.

Each year, we poll our attending companies about the roles they’ll have open at NET/WORK. Here’s a look at the data behind the open roles that companies will be promoting at the event.
