Greater St. Louis Works and our partners at Trainiac, Inc. are developing cool new materials to assist IT professionals who need to make a job change due to lay-offs, downsizing, or other events outside their control. Bounce Back! is the theme of our initiative, which features a St. Louis resource guide and a deck of cards to help displaced techies set priorities for moving forward. Suggestions from IT professionals who’ve been there and done that are welcome. Please call or use the “contact us” form to let us know what you think.
