Thousands of 25-35 year olds can’t find work in New Hampshire. They are smart, capable and eager to stay and work here, but they find it challenging to stay in our state.
Let’s talk about how to solve this urgent problem. Antioch University New England (AUNE) is hosting the Stay in New Hampshire Strategy Breakfast, a statewide peer-to-peer strategy session during a free breakfast, 8:30 to 10:30 a.m., Friday, November 18.
The public is welcome. Join other people from around the state, including representatives from AUNE, New Hampshire Business for Social Responsibility, Stay Work Play, Keene Young Professionals Network of the Greater Keene Chamber of Commerce, and AUNE’s Net Impact Chapter.
Kate Luczo, executive director of Stay Work Play-New Hampshire, will give a short keynote talk. Stay Work Play-NH is a nonprofit organization which furthers the goal of the 55% Initiative to encourage at least fifty-five percent of new graduates to stay in New Hampshire. Luczo was formerly program director for New Hampshire Businesses for Social Responsibility (NHBSR).
You’ll also be able to meet, Michelle Veasey, NHBSR’s new executive director, who will attend.
‘Catalysts for change’
Howard Schultz, CEO of Starbucks, wrote “…we must be catalysts for change in our own right and exercise our influence and responsibility as business leaders and entrepreneurs.” Schultz calls for a “peer to peer job strategy” that uses a collaborative approach to get people back to work. We want you to be part of this development strategy.
The goal is to identify concrete ways to keep our young professionals living and working in New Hampshire. We want to address this problem and invite you to be part of the solution. We expect our strategy session to come up with concrete action steps on:
Schedule
