ABOUT VERMONT 3.0

Vermont 3.0 is a coalition of educational, governmental and private-sector partners who came together to try to stop Vermont's "brain drain." Vermont 3.0 produced three successful "creative/tech career jams" in 2008 and 2009, and convened a panel of career jam exhibitors who spoke to legislators in Montpelier about Vermont's burgeoning creative/tech economy in January of 2009.
