Millennials on the Move: Making Michigan Home | Future of Work Town Hall
Join One Detroit for a Future of Work Town Hall on millennials
in the workforce Wednesday, March 22 at 12 p.m. ET
Looking at Michigan’s workforce, where did all the millennials go? Millennials currently make up the largest share of the U.S. workforce and are expected to make up 75% of the global workforce by 2025. Despite the cohort’s strength in numbers, the workforce isn’t evenly distributed across the nation, however, with many millennials opting to live in warm-weather destinations and large metropolitan cities as opposed to places like Michigan.
RELATED: Millennials make up a majority of the global workforce. Can Michigan attract them to move here?
What impact will this have on states like Michigan, where the population is declining? And how can business leaders and key stakeholders convince millennials to plant their roots in Michigan?
One Detroit producer and Future of Work host Will Glover will talk with Marjace Miles of Let’s Detroit, who works within Ford Motor Company’s Marketing Leadership Program, Wednesday, March 22 at 12 p.m. ET about millennial migration trends in the workforce and the benefits of being a young professional in Michigan.
RELATED:
They talk about millennial migration patterns and whether the state has the attractions and opportunities to attract the generation to stay here. They also discuss millennials’ job-hopping trend — a recent Gallup poll found that 20% of millennials had changed jobs within the past year, a strikingly higher percentage than elder generations. Plus, they’ll take a look at young professional workforce hubs, like Let’s Detroit, and talk about the networking opportunities they provide to millennials in the workforce.
This town hall continues One Detroit’s cumulative, ongoing conversation involving the future of work and workforce development in Michigan. Livestream this town hall on One Detroit’s Facebook page, YouTube and at the top of this page.
