Unlocking Baton Rouge’s Potential: A Panel Discussion on Attracting and Retaining Young Professionals
In the April episode of Business Report’s Strictly Business series, a three-person panel discussed the challenges of attracting and retaining young professionals in Baton Rouge. The panel members were Jeremy Beyt, co-founder and CCO of ThreeSixtyEight, Sabrina Galloway, Principal Strategist of The Galloway Group and COO of Ethics, and Amanda Martin, CEO of Studyville.
The panel examined Baton Rouge’s struggle with self-perception and the economic barriers that prevent it from attracting young professionals. They also explored ways to cultivate a new generation of community leaders who can drive initiatives forward. One topic they touched on was the development of the Better in BTR campaign by ThreeSixtyEight, which aims to showcase the opportunities and benefits of living and working in Baton Rouge.
The panel also emphasized the importance of local businesses and organizations collaborating to create a supportive environment for young professionals. Entrepreneurs like Amanda Martin were highlighted as key players in shaping the future of the city. By addressing these issues head-on and engaging with the community, the panel believes that Baton Rouge can become a more attractive place for young professionals to build their careers and lives. They hope that through collaboration and innovation, they can inspire future generations to contribute to Baton Rouge’s growth and development.
