As technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace, one Erie-based company is embracing that change while creating opportunities for local graduates and expanding its influence across the globe.
Inside a bright, modern office in downtown Erie, Federal Resources Corporation (FRC) has experienced significant growth since its founding. What began in 2018 with only a handful of employees has grown into a team of approximately 50 professionals working from the company’s State and 14th Street location.
Leading that growth is CEO Jeremy Young, a Cathedral Prep graduate who launched the company while working in Washington, D.C. Young said FRC was founded as a job creation initiative, with the goal of bringing high-tech career opportunities to the Erie region.
Today, the company specializes in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and applied data solutions, serving clients that include agencies within the U.S. government. Much of FRC’s workforce comes from cybersecurity and technology programs at Erie-area colleges, helping keep local talent in the region while contributing to nationally significant projects.
As the technology sector continues to expand, FRC is also focused on education and community engagement. The company is preparing to host its biennial FRC Technology Summit, an event designed to share industry knowledge, discuss emerging technologies and connect professionals, students and business leaders.
Amanda Duncan, who is helping lead this year’s summit efforts, said the event is intended to help educate and inspire those interested in the future of technology.
Organizers note that tickets for the Technology Summit are free, reflecting FRC’s commitment to making technology education accessible while supporting workforce development in the region.
Through a combination of innovation, education and local investment, FRC hopes to continue growing its presence in Erie while helping shape the future of technology both locally and beyond.
