Talent Recruitment Promising Practice

Looking for a role model to sharpen your talent retention and recruitment efforts?

Look at Philadelphia's Knowledge Industry Partnership (KIP), which is a broad-based coalition of Greater Philadelphia's civic, business, government, and higher education leaders working together to maximize the impact of the region’s “knowledge industry” of colleges and universities on Philadelphia’s competitive position.

The goal of the One Big Campus initiative is to create positive first-hand experiences throughout the student life cycle (prospect>student>graduate), which in turn lead to a stronger emotional attachment with the area and ultimately a personal desire to remain after graduation.

KIP is a well-grounded effort that zeroes in on the key issues and factors affecting talent development.
