About the Program:  Would you like to attract new talent to your company? What's the best way to keep your employees?

Hear from our panel of industry leaders in Portage County on what their companies do to attract new employees and the best way to keep these employees. You'll get valuable insight on how these companies attract the right candidates and how they get them to remain with their companies long-term. There will be time for a Q&A with our panel as well as young professionals in attendance.

Find out how Everything Points Here and Ignite Young Professionals can help with these efforts.
