Our home state of Minnesota is a recognized leader in many areas, but meeting our current and future technology workforce needs is a growing concern. Joel Crandall, from the Minnesota Technology Association, joins us in our studios to discuss MNTech's leadership on this issue and the research that supports it. Joel also shares some behind-the-scenes perspectives on how MNTech leverages data to benefit members and the greater community.
