Page 52 - Greensboro, NC-GSO 2040 Comprehensive Plan

Goal - F

Greensboro attracts and retains a diverse pool of talented
individuals, especially young adults, who have a wide variety
of skill sets.

Strategy 1: Market professional development opportunities to young
professionals, skilled and unskilled tradespeople, artisans, and craftspeople.
Support and foster relationships between our colleges, universities, and local
employers that establish a direct pipeline connecting graduates to local jobs.
Highlight opportunities that exist in Greensboro, whether they are for technical
jobs in fields such as aviation or for creating career paths by developing their
new businesses.
Strategy 2: Market our park system, strategic location, and other unique assets
that make Greensboro attractive. Similar to how we market our city to tourists,
make sure everyone knows what a great place Greensboro is to live and work.
Give students an opportunity to see what Greensboro is like outside of their
campus.
