BRAC, LSU Alumni Association partner on talent development

The LSU Alumni Association will promote the Baton Rouge Area Chamber’s talent development program to LSU graduates under a partnership announced this morning. A memorandum of understanding inked by the two will also allow BRAC to partner with the alumni association at its chapter events to promote the Capital Region and job opportunities within it. In turn, BRAC will work to identify career opportunities for out-of-region LSU graduates and provide the résumés of alumni members interested in returning to the Baton Rouge area to companies with open positions. The goal of the partnership is to increase the number of résumés included in BRAC’s talent database. “We visit with LSU alumni all over the country who say, ‘If I could find a career opportunity in the Baton Rouge area that has the same or better financial rewards of my current job, I would return in a heartbeat,’ ” says Cliff Vannoy, executive vice president and chief operating officer of the National LSU Alumni Association, in a news release. BRAC is currently building a talent database that can be accessed when regional companies are searching for candidates for hard-to-fill positions. Those interested in being a part of the database can find more information about it here.
