Recent challenges with attracting and retaining talented, committed employees have made that clear.
As a leader of an area company, you are crucial to 5th Year’s success. And by helping recent high school graduates identify professional opportunities they may have otherwise never known about, 5th Year could become a key to your long-term recruiting success.
You give young people the opportunity through shadowing, through cooperatives, through industries tours, through all sorts of different experiences to understand what is out there in terms of career, so they can make a better selection that fits them and avoid making mistakes that take a long time to recoup from.
As a supporting organization, you’ll host small groups of 5th Year participants now and then as they tour your company. You’ll invite certain participants to shadow members of your team for a few days. You’ll also provide at least one paid three-month internship. That paid work helps 5th Year students cover their on-campus living expenses, which allows the program to be self-sustaining.
By meeting many vetted 5th Year participants and introducing them to the benefits of your company and culture on a more personal level, you’ll have a head start on recruiting the program graduates who stand out to you.
Your employees may benefit by actively mentoring 5th Year students, too. Giving them the opportunity to actively teach, encourage and inspire young people can bring a new level of purpose to their roles within your company and contribute to their job satisfaction.
You can also take pride in knowing that your organization will be part of a valuable program that’s designed to transform the post-high-school experience for our area’s young adults and keep them working and leading successful lives right here in our community.
5th Year relies on partnerships with the business community. As we build a talent ecosystem that supports the future growth and needs of our region’s companies, we’ll need the active participation of area businesses, from internships to investment. We see partnership opportunities evolving as the program does. For the Fall 2024 semester, we need partnership in the following areas:
