BRAC, Episcopal High partner to bring B.R. grads back home

After signing agreements with alumni associations at LSU and Southern University in May to promote job opportunities in the Capital Region that could lure native talent back to the area, BRAC this morning announced it is also working with Episcopal High School to promote its emerging talent development program. Under the agreement, BRAC and Episcopal will promote employment opportunities within the Capital Region at various events throughout the community. BRAC will also identify career opportunities for Episcopal graduates who have since left the Baton Rouge area, and provide résumés of alumni members interested in returning home to local employers with openings. “My hope is that this program will bring home a ‘passel’ of folks who can join us in accelerating the Baton Rouge area’s natural emergence as a great and advancing city in the South and in the U.S.,” says Episcopal Head of School Hugh McIntosh in a prepared statement. BRAC President and CEO Adam Knapp is commending the school for “being the first of many high schools in the area to work with us in this initiative.” BRAC is working to build a comprehensive talent database that can be accessed by regional companies who are looking to fill positions. Those seeking work in the area can also have their résumés included. Complete details are available on BRAC’s website here. The talent development program is a core initiative of BRAC’s five-year strategic plan called The Creative Capital Agenda.
