ABOUT US

Bridging the Defense Talent Gap in Tampa Bay

The NDIA Tampa Bay Talent Hub is a strategic initiative to solve one of the region's most pressing workforce challenges: connecting cleared, qualified professionals with the defense and intelligence employers who need them. Tampa Bay is home to USCENTCOM, USSOCOM, and a rapidly growing defense-tech ecosystem — but finding and retaining talent with the right clearances remains a critical barrier.
