    The program was designed in response to the ongoing loss of young talent from West Virginia to out-of-state companies, as research shows that providing quality opportunities for professional development is a critical strategy for retention and solving many workforce challenges. For instance, according to a study conducted by LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional network, 94% of respondents reported that they’d be more likely to stay at a company that invests in employees’ careers.
