SWFC connects with the Tampa Bay Business Journal

Whether you are a new student, graduating, or an alumni, it's good to research companies and executives to know what's happening in your area and industry. The Tampa Bay Business Journal has created a portal for SWFC students and instructors, which you can access and search by clicking here.

You can get started right away by clicking the links on the portal, but here are a few features to help you navigate:

• "Jobs" is the journal's search engine to help find job openings in an area or industry
• "Executive files" profiles local business executives, with links to their industries
• "How-to" uses articles and videos to answers questions about marketing, funding, technology, and more
• "Business events" has links to many big cities, but click on Tampa Bay to find upcoming local events
• And, a favorite feature is the "Book of Lists," which ranks and highlights the top public and private companies in various sectors. You could use this to know who the prospective employers are in your field and perform some research on the positions they employ, or if there are any openings.  There are 90 lists to peruse, so look through it online or read the print edition in the Tampa LRC today!
