    Explore the Best Classes in Jacksonville

    Jacksonville, Florida is the most populated city in Florida. The area surrounding Jacksonville is home to multiple major military bases, including Naval Station Mayport, Blount Island Command, and the Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay. Many residents of Jacksonville work in industries such as tourism, federal/military service, banking, insurance, and logistics. Jacksonville residents benefit from Florida’s sunny weather and beaches, its professional sports teams, and Jacksonville Zoo.

    The advantages of focusing on technology in Jacksonville are clear: the city is surrounded by waterways that assist in the city's global, multi-modal logistics centers based on the deep-water ports surrounding the area. Three naval bases fuel a highly-skilled, ever-renewing, and in-demand labor force, and a coastal lifestyle that inspires productivity and creativity takes businesses to a higher level.

    Jacksonville continues its surge forward with a consistently growing tech market. Due to accelerated growth, more companies realize the benefits of doing business in an area that is a desirable place to live, yet they are finding that the supply of tech talent has not yet caught up with demand. The diverse composite that makes up the tech landscape, Jacksonville has headquarters for some of the biggest names in tech, including Black Knight, Inc., Newfold Digital, Coastal Clouds, Fanatics, and Forcura. With such notable corporations anchoring in the city, this Northeast area of Florida is firmly established for confident businesses that understand they don’t even have to share the same skyscraper—there is room to choose from many choice locations on the peninsula. This kind of forward-thinking is also what has fostered the success of startup firms, as recently noted by Roofstock ranking Jacksonville 9th in their survey of U.S. cities with the most startup businesses.

    Of particular interest is the strength of two leading-edge sectors in tech: FinTech and ecommerce. Over the past five years, JAXUSA has announced that 13 ecommerce companies have produced a total of more than $3.3 billion in infrastructure, adding approximately 18,000 jobs. FinTech’s most news-breaking announcement came from Dun & Bradstreet, which decided to move from New Jersey to Jacksonville—a major coup for the area. The addition to this leading global provider of business data and analytics management catapulted what had been a strong infrastructure into an all-eyes-on-Jacksonville move. Adding even more fuel to the fire is the newly-constructed 300,000-square-foot headquarters of FIS built along downtown Jackson’s riverfront. This new expansion has added 500 new high-wage jobs and $150 million in capital investment.

    Other national reports are touting Jacksonville’s rising position among tech talent hotspots. Forrester Research’s recent report labeled the region as one of “15 U.S. Tech Talent Hotspots,” allowing the city to make the grade when it comes to competing with hubs that are now feeling overly crowded. Being inaccessible for employees to find mentors and encouragement to grow has been a sore spot for tech talent in other locations who know their skills can make a difference in a new geographic market. Jacksonville’s inclusive and connected business climate certainly checks off the boxes for what tech professionals are looking for. The River City now ranks high in talent markets that allow professionals to get in on the ground floor with promising new businesses, and for those already in established roles, a higher likelihood to boost their careers.

    The efforts to move Jacksonville’s tech environment have been steady, cultivating a carefully groomed image instead of trying to explode onto the scene, something competing hubs have tried without sustainability. Gaining momentum now with the trust major corporations have established, companies such as Amazon have hired more than 4,000 employees, and tech roles are plentifully available, with businesses such as JinkSolar setting up a major solar panel manufacturing operation. Three Jacksonville companies, CST Corp., Fidelity National Financial, and Fidelity National Information Services (FIS), also made their way onto the Fortune 500 list and compete for tech talent alongside other business giants, GuideWell Mutual Holding Corp. and Southern Grocer’s Inc. The Jacksonville Daily Record makes it clear that more companies would have made the Fortune 500 list if they were not privately held, which means that the workforce in the city doesn’t have to rely on just the list of 500.

    The Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) was awarded $12.5 million to pursue efforts to establish autonomous electric transit to downtown, making even short commutes at the tech centers or businesses stretching out along the state-of-the-art shoreline. The city was also awarded an additional $12 million for traffic flow improvements tying together the new eye-grabbing Bay Jax Innovation Corridor with other tech hub satellites around the city. JTA has also joined forces with Florida Polytechnic University's Advanced Mobility Institute, which focuses on advancing and testing driverless transportation. Building upon the cutting-edge technology involved in autonomous vehicles, groups in Jacksonville are also working on unique solar-powered sidewalks, a less invasive way to harness solar energy and turn it into a usable source for business and homes.

    Tech Careers in Jacksonville

    Tech careers in Jacksonville are rewarding, whether technology pros are working with venturesome budding enterprises or showing off skills on the global stage with the assistance of its deepwater ports. The city’s gateways attract international companies, including France-based Saft, German-based Deutsche Bank, and Brazilian-based Embraer. As part of joining Brookings and JPMorgan Chase Global Cities Initiative, the JAX region is strategically focused on connecting the metro’s trade, economic development, business, and political leaders to boost exports of local goods and services around the world. This is great news for existing companies looking to expand beyond traditional domestic markets, which also drives up the demand for tech professionals.

    Geographic location wins again in Jacksonville with a well-known reputation as America’s logistics center. As one of the only regions that has an infrastructure that includes rail, air, maritime, and highway access, even Global Trade magazine celebrates JAX. The region exports more than $5.4 billion in goods and services annually, and transportation modes include 10 airports, an FAA-licensed horizontal spaceport, two deep-water ports with four marine terminals, and all land-based access modalities. With such an extensive network, all of Jacksonville relies on those who can keep technology not just running but exceeding, and the demand doesn’t meet the supply.

    This juxtaposition of smaller, niche businesses with major industry leaders makes Jacksonville’s regional population of 1.6 million secure in their abilities to create and continue lucrative tech careers. With a prime location in the westernmost area of the East Coast, the geographically favorable spot uniquely positions JAX with the ability to provide same-day access to the entire Southeastern consumer market. Jacksonville continues to increase job availability at a growth rate of around 7% annually, making access to any popular industry within reach. Major sectors in the JAX region include advanced manufacturing, advanced transportation and logistics, financial services, corporate business headquarters assistance, health and biomedical, and IT innovation.

    Because of Florida’s extremely favorable environment for doing business, with low regulations and no state income tax, companies are free to put more effort towards cultivating tech talent. Local governments also sponsor incentives for companies to ensure they build the strongest workforce with assistance for those areas in top demand. The targeted industries include cleantech, life sciences, infotech, aviation and aerospace, homeland security and defense, FinTech, and cybersecurity. Within these target areas, grants and backing are earmarked for businesses to be able to provide advanced training, mentorship and networking opportunities, and decision-making roles in the community. Tech pros looking to pay it forward are included with support via reimbursable training expenses for instructor wages, curriculum development, and materials.

    Jacksonville is certainly a nirvana for those looking for a high-level yet lower competitive environment in a tech career, and the desirability of living in the area makes deciding to anchor in the city an easy choice. The city is a metropolitan area with amenities that rival any other location, but it has another side that is just as attractive: nature. Home to over 850 square miles of clean beaches and coastline even within city limits, the lush flora invites residents to relax. Wildlife in the area is plentiful, with a chance to see everything from whales and dolphins on the open water, ecosystems, and coatimundis can be spotted inland. With pleasant weather, locals like kayaking on the peaceful St. John’s River and wandering through rotating exhibits at museums and art galleries.

    Housing costs are a major motivating factor for living in Jacksonville. Homes average 17% lower than other metropolitan areas in the nation, and residents have many choices, from beachside bungalows to luxurious high-rise apartments with stunning views. The Orange Park neighborhood is a favorite for families, while downtown is a hipster’s paradise. San Marco was modeled after a Venetian city and has old-world charm, and the entire metro area continues to add amenities and ensure good schools for all.

    With finance and business services being major sectors in Jacksonville, the city is attractive for Data Analysts, who typically earn an average of $61,000. Another excellent career choice for tech pros is the role of User Experience Designer, a job that pays approximately $77,000 annually.
