On this episode of Talent Wars, host Patience Fairbrother is joined by the Upstate SC Alliance's Talent & Strategic Projects Manager, Tiffany Tate, to discuss why talent programs should engage with college and university career offices - and specifically why they should treat them like VIPs. The Upstate SC Alliance, the organization behind the MoveUpstateSC talent campaign, spearheaded an initiative that is likely a first of its kind - a familiarization tour for college and university career office professionals. In many ways, career offices are like the site selectors of the talent world. These professionals impact the post-grad career decisions or hundreds or sometimes thousands of students. During this episode, Patience and Tiffany will discuss why rolling out the red carpet for career office professionals should be a no-brainer, the process to build and implement this program, and lessons learned.
