A focus on talent attraction & retention

Building a Talent Hub - Goals & Strategies
- Produce a Talent Attraction Report focusing on why and how to best share and market our community as a great place to live for talented workers. Leverage partners along with Alumni groups from our universities to create a market of interest.
- Identify the gaps in talent supply to produce a skills gap and inventory study.
- Create Solutions for weaknesses found in the study.
- Form an Ambassador Committee to help talent move and settle in Greater Fort Lauderdale by using local assets such as our access to airports, ease of travel, and diversity.
- Create a sustainability plan for our community to grow and develop with the changing world of work.
