 
Resonate with Young Professionals
A solid workforce enables a solid economy. With a nationwide workforce shortage
predicted within the next 10 years, communities across the country are
scrambling to develop strategies to strengthen their connections to existing
workers and to enhance connections with potential workers.
The Columbus Chamber, in partnership with Mayor Coleman, Columbus City Council,
Franklin County, Chase Bank, Experience Columbus and the Greater Columbus Arts
Council, as well as the Ohio Department of Development, has a strategy to
increase the quantity and quality of our workforce in an effort to fill job
vacancies as baby boomers retire. This initiative will enable our local
community to compete in the global economy by keeping and growing local
businesses, attracting new jobs and employers to our region, and enhancing the
value of our region by creating positive awareness of the Greater Columbus
area. The Chamber's three-pronged approach to workforce development, known as Attract
& Retain Talent, will reach college age students, young
professionals, and employers.
As a collaborative effort, this initiative demands the active input and
participation of individuals and businesses. For more information about how you
can get involved in Attract & Retain Talent, please contact
