millennialtlNow that the economy is beginning its slow uphill climb, boomers are beginning to think about retirement and the cycle of hiring entry-level talent is beginning again. Yet, a lot has changed in these past months and as any hiring manager can attest to, the Millennial generation is like no other.

The Intern Bridge Millennial Thought Leaders Online Conference is  a week-long (Oct. 26-30, 2009) online event that  provides an opportunity for college recruiting professionals, human resources specialists, and career services practitioners to engage in a nationwide program of best practices and proven methods for engaging today’s entry-level talent. From social networking to dealing with parents to learning what higher education is doing to help this unique generation, the online conference complements professional development goals without impacting travel budgets.

Registration for the conference will be made on a per-location basis, meaning every employee of a registered organization or career office will have access to the entire content of the conference. All you need is an Internet connection and conference room where professionals can gather for presentations.

Monday, August 17th, 2009

Many candidates think that once the job search is over and they have landed a job, they can sit back, relax and just enjoy their 9 to 5 routine. As many employers will tell you, this is not the case! Employers want to see their young talent stepping up to the challenge and taking on leadership roles.

Lisa Orrell, founder of The Orrell Group, is an in-demand speaker and Millennial coach. She has written two business books “Millennials Incorporated” (top-rated on Amazon) and “Millennials Into Leadership” (available in October/2009). Orrell is also currently offering a leadership seminar entitled, “Get A Grip On Leadership.”

The “Get A Grip On Leadership” seminar is an info-packed, 2.5 hour presentation created to teach Millennials how to be effective and respected young leaders at work (regardless of their current position). This seminar is available to career centers and employers as a way to help college students or Millennials currently in the workforce.
