MemphisConnect

As part of the MemphisED Plan established by Memphis Tomorrow, MemphisConnect serves as the city’s premier tool to assist local companies in attracting and acclimating top talent to Memphis.

Connecting to Memphis.
MemphisConnect is a program providing positive matches between a company’s newly recruited employees and Academy Alumni, the  most dynamic ambassadors our city has to offer. Our alumni have strong connections to Memphis’ top leadership and to each other - a diverse network of city boosters they can share with your employee. The program is ideal for new recruits who find themselves feeling the disconnect often associated with a new job in a new city.  

Memphis – The Summer Experience.
As MemphisConnect seeks to engage knowledge workers of all ages, a special emphasis has been placed on those that are about to enter the workforce. Through Memphis – The Summer Experience, interns and recent college grads get a chance to meet peers, meet established city leaders, and meet Memphis through a summer-long program.

Recruit. Relocate. Retain.
Quarterly forums keep hiring managers and HR executives up to date on best practices and tools they can use to attract top talent into Memphis. Hiring managers are provided resources to the issues that provide challenges in our city. Emphasis is given to the four issues that deter out-of-town candidates from accepting a job in Memphis – crime, education, government and race relations. Additionally, best practices are shared among participants that allow these companies to make Memphis a player in the global talent game for top candidates across the board.
