Per the 2012 Cyberstate report, Florida is ranked 1st in computer training; 2nd in space and defense high-tech industries; 3rd in engineering services; 4th in Internet and telecommunication services; and 5th in tech employment. It is imperative that our education system equips Florida’s students with fluent digital and technological skills so they will be the leaders of this changing economy. Many of Florida’s business and education leaders have seen firsthand the need for policies and investment in technology in our schools. We are working with our universities for short-term and long-term investments in technology. We must continue to march swiftly to excellence by equipping our students with the skills they need in order to lead in an ever-increasing digital economy.
