Here's what's happening this week:
Last Week’s Poll Results:
Q: Does your company partner with local schools/colleges as part of its recruitment strategy?
Yes – 47% & No – 53%
Many companies partner or work with local colleges for recent grads or interns, but many overlook a valuable resource in high school partnerships. We have some gems right here with the growing P-Tech programs or schools like Tech Valley High School - which consists of students from ALL over our region. They have great opportunities to partner with the school through mentorship programs or the Business Alliance which creates a direct pipeline for your business by gaining access to the young minds now and helping to shape the curriculum to address your workforce needs!
