I'm a University of Vermont alum, and worked there for several years after college.
The IT (and "professional") economy is quite weak. There's a couple bigger web companies, however I know at least one of the biggest off-shores development.
Otherwise, a lot of the professional economy is just satellite of the tourism industry.
I read recently the superintendent of Burlington schools (Burlington being the big city in Vermont where the university is located) was traveling to China to help recruit high school students.
It's a beautiful, mostly rural place - but it's not surprising these initiatives are being taken.
