About Matthew Deprimo
Revitalizing the \'American Dream\' as the President of CareerBridge IT Solutions.careerbridgeitsolutions.comI’m the Founder & CEO of CareerBridge Solutions, a STEM recruiting and workforce development firm built to solve one of the biggest challenges facing employers and regions today: access to sustainable, job-ready talent.Through CareerBridge, I’ve helped successfully recruit more than 1,500 candidates into STEM roles while building long-term talent pipelines in partnership with 7 universities, employers, economic development organizations, workforce agencies, and military installations—including Fort Drum.My work sits at the intersection of education, workforce development, economic growth, and opportunity. I collaborate with public and private sector stakeholders to align academic outcomes with real labor market needs, support inclusive recruiting strategies, and strengthen regional workforce ecosystems.At the core, I believe talent exists everywhere—but opportunity does not. My focus is on building systems that close that gap and create lasting impact for individuals, employers, and communities.
