The Detroit Regional Chamber created Let’s Detroit to increase retention of graduates leaving the state while helping engage those who wish to return or move to the Detroit region.
The Chamber launched Let’s Detroit in September 2018 to increase retention of college graduates by 1% each year, helping achieve the broader goal of increasing postsecondary education attainment in the region to 60% by 2030. The effort also offers employers an opportunity to engage recent graduates directly as part of their talent and recruitment efforts and serve as a talent ambassador for the region.
Using a website, texting communication, and social media to engage recent graduates, Let’s Detroit aims to achieve three main objectives:
What makes Let’s Detroit unique is its volunteer ambassadors who live in the region and offer young talent authentic connections through events, social media, and the “Ask a Detroiter” program. The Let’s Detroit team works to connect graduates with ambassadors who have insight or perspective to help them evaluate their next move as they consider staying, returning, or moving to the region.
