The CEOs who comprise the Regional Business Council focus much of their energy on improving our local talent development and inclusive business practices.  They believe both are crucial to our region’s business growth.  We coordinate programs like the Young Professionals Network, and we partner with organizations with missions that support our goal of attracting and retaining an ethnically diverse and talented workforce.

One such organization that helps college graduates and young professionals find their perfect match is InSight St. Louis. InSight is a non-profit organization dedicated to recruiting the best graduates from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) to the St. Louis region to live and work.

On Friday, RBC Young Professionals will meet InSight’s rising stars, 30 young adults brought to town from schools including Howard and Moorehouse to interview with local companies. Our Young Professionals will have the opportunity to network with these soon-to-be graduates and help guide them to their perfect job—in St. Louis, of course.

Please join me in welcoming InSight participants to St. Louis. We hope this class of future graduates strongly considers starting their career in the Gateway to the West.
