BRAC, Southern alumni partner on talent development program

The Baton Rouge Area Chamber and the Southern University Alumni Federation today announced that they’ve agreed to a memorandum of understanding to promote BRAC’s talent development program among SU alumni. Under the agreement, BRAC will partner with the alumni federation at chapter events to promote the region and employment activities within it. In turn, BRAC will work to identify career opportunities for out-of-region SU graduates and provide the résumés of alumni members interested in returning to the Baton Rouge area to work at companies with open positions. The goal of the partnership is to grow the number of résumés included in BRAC’s talent database. BRAC signed a similar agreement with the LSU Alumni Association earlier this month. BRAC is currently building an online talent database that can be accessed when regional companies are searching for candidates for hard-to-fill positions. Those interested in being included in the database can find more information at BRAC’s website here. The talent development program is a core initiative of BRAC’s five-year strategic plan called The Creative Capital Agenda.
