Presented: Avalon Events Center OR Virtual
Speakers: Joe Tjosvold (Chez-vold) and Emma McIntyre
Program Summary:
Minnesota State University Moorhead, Concordia College, North Dakota State University and M State add about 25,000 students to the Fargo-Moorhead area. With an obvious need for an expanding workforce, our community’s challenge is convincing these 25,000 students to stay in the Fargo-Moorhead area.
In this session we’ll talk about how potential employers can support younger employees to get them active in the community and their careers. Joe, a St. Paul native, chose to stay in Fargo-Moorhead after his graduation from MSUM, and Emma, a Fargo native, chose to move back after her graduation from the University of Northern Colorado. They'll share their stories of what motivated them to pick Fargo.
Key Takeaways:
1. How to identify a potential mentor/mentee
2. How to engage with your mentor/mentee
3. What kind of questions to ask your mentor/mentee
4. Why you should bet on younger teammates and how to feel in touch with them
