It is a partnership between the Greater Columbia Chamber of Commerce, EngenuitySC, New Carolina, Columbia Opportunity Resource (COR) and the Columbia Metropolitan Convention & Visitors Bureau to develop a program to build a talent-powered economy in the Columbia region by focusing on engaging, attracting and retaining young, mobile workers.
Why is attracting and retaining talent in Columbia an important issue?
1. Talent attraction and retention is a critical economic development tool in the new economy.
2. Columbia is currently a net exporter of talent to places like Charlotte, Atlanta, and others.
3. Columbia has over 8,000 graduates from the higher education system each year.
In the coming months we will be deploying a survey to collect valuable research for this project, so please join our Facebook group so that we may get your feedback when the survey is deployed. Whether you currently live here or are a former resident or student - and no matter what your age, we need your feedback.
Please help us spread the word around Facebook by inviting all your friends so that we can reach our goal of 1,000 people by the end of the month!
