Get Your Brand in Front of Tomorrow's Leaders

The COVID-19 pandemic reminded us of a key business tenet: be prepared for the unexpected. Even before the pandemic, however, we already were in the midst of a critical shift: from one generation to the next. And the speed of this transition will only increase in the decades ahead.  Leaders are transitioning, job hunting is becoming ever more competitive, and labor shortages will continue. It is critical, therefore, to get your brand in front of tomorrow’s leaders. Your Chamber is working hard to provide you opportunities to get in front of students and current job seekers alike, all with the intent of introducing them to you.
 
Last week was our 2nd annual Career Connect Day at RiverCentre. We welcomed approximately 2000 students in the day’s first half of programming, and close to 200 job seekers walking through in the afternoon. Career exploration for most, dozens of interviews – and job offers!  We are SO proud of our team and volunteers who ran the program, our sponsors and partners, and – most especially – the school leaders who are 100% invested in growing their partnership with the business community.
 
We have big plans for our Career Connect Day/job fair next year, to be larger and inclusive of more schools/employers. We have a vision of making this opportunity available to every business, student, job seeker in the metro.  THANK YOU, to all of you who are taking a chance on this opportunity.

We had a wait list for employers this year. If you'd like to hold your spot for next year, please contact Kevion. You can also view photos of this year's Career Connect here.

See you in the trenches,
