Attract, Develop and Retain Diverse Talent

Heard of the "brain-drain" concept? Well we at New North are anti-brain-drain! We want to attract talent, develop it, and retain it.

So imagine you are trying to attract talented individuals and their families to come to this region...
  • What picture could you take that would attract others to move here? What picture could you take that would attract families and individuals to stay here? Think about what aspects of our region make you want to live here.
  • What picture would demonstrate the talent that settles here?
  • What picture would show how talented and unique we are?
  • Is there a picture you could take to capture our diversity (in people, cultures, events, educational programs, food, etc.)?
Take a photo, and join our anti-brain-drain effort!
