Brevard County has the 5th most concentrated high-tech workforce in the U.S., according to the TechAmerica Foundation, is among the top 3 (of 360) MSAs in the United States for concentration of electrical engineers and technicians, and ranks first in Florida for the number of patents (11) for every 10,000 workers. Advanced manufacturing growth and evolution is expanding our opportunities.  Exciting new companies are landing here, and corporate brand names are expanding too–such as Fortune 500 company L3Harris Corporation–with an impressive new Technology Center and more than 6,000 employees locally. Manufacturing talent has a home here.  And workers wishing to change careers have great options on the Space Coast of Florida.
