SUMMARY:Engaging Students to Fill the Tech Talent Gap
DESCRIPTION:Join NVTC’s Filling the Tech Talent Gap Community of Interest for a virtual meeting on the value of keeping students in the National Capital Region after graduation and strategies to make that happen. \nThe growing School of Business at George Mason University\, part of the largest public university in the Commonwealth\, graduates over 1\,100 students per year in concentrations that prepare students for successful business and tech careers. \nWhat can local businesses do to retain highly skilled students after graduation? Two senior leaders from the School of Business will share details on the programs put in place to engage and retain students during school and post-graduation.
