Networking Luncheon Presented by Fort McMurray Wood Buffalo Economic Development & Tourism: Youthful Perspectives, Retaining The Future Workforce

Why do some youths leave our community, and what can each of us do to encourage them to stay?

Economic Development & Tourism alongside CAREERS partnered with local stakeholders to research this challenge. Join us for the first public presentation of the results.

The eighteen-month project included a Next Generation Employment Survey, followed by a series of focus groups to drill into the trends. Our report shares valuable insights and actionable outcomes that can help businesses – and our regional economy – to retain more of our youth as customers, employees, and entrepreneurs.
