D:hive is launching a new program called Detroit Wants You to make it clear that young, talented workers are welcome in the Motor City.
The job portal not only aims to attract and retain young talent but also to create an awareness that there is an abundance of opportunity in Detroit. "The common perception is that there aren't any great opportunities in Detroit," says Alex Prouhet, work resident at
D:hive. "Detroit Wants You wants to dispel that belief."
Detroit Wants You will include an online jobs portal similar to popular sites, like Monster and CareerBuilder. It will also work with young people to help match them with the best jobs and opportunities.
"We want to connect as many people as we can with jobs and grow our talent base," Prouhet says. "We want to increase the number of people that are interested in Detroit."
