According to Forbes Magazine, Alabama ranks 47th in the nation in retaining college graduates. More specifically, two-thirds of in-state college graduates remain in Alabama and only 20% of the out-of-state college graduates remain in Alabama to begin their professional journey. Leadership from the Dothan Area Chamber of Commerce, Southeast AlabamaWorks, and Wallace Community College all recently participated in the Fuel Alabama (FUEL AL) Talent Conference presented by the Economic Development Partnership of Alabama (EDPA). Statistics show that recent graduates desire to live in communities where their quality of life is valued. Will you join me to help ‘Fuel Alabama’ with talent and workers for the future?
