Diaspora Technology Task Force Members Seeks IT Consultants

Diaspora Technology Task Force member and small business owner, Devon Lewis, is here to explore hiring Information Technology (IT) consultants in Jamaica to support his client-base in the United States of America.

With his business providing IT training and IT consultants to the US market, the small business owner told JIS News that he attended the Diaspora 55 Conference in an effort to understand the state of the education system as it relates to IT at the Secondary as well as the Tertiary levels.

The entrepreneur, who has been in the US for over 30 years, said he has an online school, and will be seeking teachers to teach courses online from Jamaica.

Additionally, he is looking to hire staff to support his consultancy.

Some areas that the entrepreneur is looking at are: network engineering, coding and programming.

He is seeking to get these professionals utilising online platforms to connect him to local virtual resources.

Mr. Lewis said he is still analyzing the professional landscape here, highlighting that he endorses working from home.

“If people can get paid a decent amount of money without having to get out of their pajamas, I am okay with that as long as the job gets done,” he said.

He said that the Jamaica 55 Diaspora Conference gave him access to a lot of people who were able to answer a lot of his questions.
