Kansas has been an employee drain the last 10 years, with 183,000 people graduating school then leaving the state for jobs. How do we fix that? Franklin County Development Council Director, Paul Bean, says we have to find ways to keep kids here. One way is through partnerships of local high school and colleges with the state offering incentives to stay. He says there is another plan also:
The State of Kansas has been working on keeping college graduates in-state for several years. Building the workforce all around the state has been a priority for local and state government in trying to have industry that is already here to expand and bring in new industry to build facilities in places like Proximity Park.
