TalentLNK –

Attracting Tomorrow’s Talent

Today’s college graduates are smart and results-oriented, and bring indispensable skills to the workplace. It’s important to keep these talented future workers in Lincoln. That’s where TalentLNK comes in.

By providing students with opportunities to learn about our city, we can encourage more graduates to join the Lincoln workforce. The more students we can connect with, the better chance we have of keeping these talented grads in Lincoln.

We urge you to make an important contribution to our region’s growth and success by creating meaningful opportunities for students to learn about your company and our community through internships.

Register your intern NOW for TalentLNK. With a kick-off and series of four weekly events in June, interns will network with peers and discover why Lincoln is the perfect place to live, work and play. The cost for the program is $75 per intern, which includes lunch at each session. Visit www.LCOC.com to register.
