Young Talent: Year-End Report 2007
The challenge to acquire, motivate and grow talent - especially young talent - will become the pivotal economic development and employer issues in the years ahead. See what the Wichita Metro Chamber is doing to assure that your business priorities will effectively match and motivate those of your young professional talent. |
 Becoming a Community that Embraces YPs “When you bring someone new into Wichita, they leave with their mouth just wide open because they can’t believe all that’s happening here.“
We’re determined that Wichita will become America’s next talent hot spot. To do that, we’ve enlisted the help of Rebecca Ryan of Next Generation Consulting (NGC). NGC has an exceptional reputation as the leading expert on recruiting and retaining young talent—developing a unique handprinting solution that will help us see our community through the eyes of the next generation. Discovering our Strengths YPW was chosen as the Community Service Research Project for 2008 by the Center for Economic Development and Business Research (CEDBR) at Wichita State University. This project will identify our top competitive advantages and liabilities to becoming a destination for young diverse talent, and the priority issues and/or projects that drive our future community enhancement efforts. “Wichita is competing in a global and innovation-based economy and like other communities, is facing a talent shortage. We’re going to work with the Chamber to answer the question: What can Wichita do to attract the talent – the “young and restless” - who can work anywhere?”
