Sometimes just one conversation can influence a young person’s career.
That’s the strategy behind the Talent Talks program coordinated by the Sioux Falls Development Foundation.
It connects young professionals with high school students, sharing individual experiences and career journeys in Sioux Falls.
“So that people can start envisioning what could be their life here in maybe five to 10 years,” said Denise Guzzetta, vice president of talent and workforce development for the organization.
“The range of presenters has gone anywhere from people in the financial services sector to people that are in public service; that shows a large bandwidth of different types of jobs and opportunities.”
Talent Talks is one of several workforce development programs coordinated by the Sioux Falls Development Foundation.
