I'm not sure if there's a better title for what I'm going for here, but during my stint on another now defunct Shocker board, we had a general thread of things going on, new development, whatever, in regards to the greater metro area. Some things may not deserve a new thread for themselves, but could be collected in a general grouping. We have a specific thread around Wichita State's growth potential and what's going on there, but it doesn't hurt to have a similarish thread for the region. If this is a bad idea, we can abandon this line of thought. If it doesn't work, it'll die out and be relegated to the depths of ShockerNet. But I'm going to give this a try.
Many of us have talked over the years about diversification and getting more tech related businesses to Wichita. Recently, a cyber security company has set up shop at Epic Center and is already talking about expansion here in ICT.
I may need to sign back up for the WBJ.

“I’m just overjoyed about the experience that we’ve had here opening the office and then subsequently doing the hiring,” he said. “The pool of talent here has far exceeded my expectations.

Anderson said his company had had conversations with all the local universities about the training curriculum for roles with Novacoast, but everything has been great so far.
“The nice thing about us is that we hire at so many different levels that we don’t even need people to come out of university-specific education,” he said. “We’ll take people who are very green and build them from the ground up.”
