CEPCO to Partner With Credentify on Come Home to Chico Site Redesign
|
The Come Home to Chico
campaign is pleased to announce a partnership with Credentify to enhance the
abilities and appearance of our website.
Credentify is developing a job board to promote jobs that are difficult
to fill.
The website is designed to recruit and retain top level talent in the innovation
and technology sectors in Chico. This board will improve recruitment efforts
as well as open communication channels between Chico businesses looking to raise the
critical mass of talent in the innovation and technology clusters.
Come Home
to Chico is posting testimonials of Chico State
Graduates who have "Come Home to Chico." These testimonials (click here) are
vital to our effort of bringing graduates back to our beautiful town and to
inform those interested in moving here just how much opportunity exists in Chico.
If you have a "Come
Home to Chico" story of your own, or know
someone with one, please contact Matt Robertson, CEPCO Project Manager,
for information regarding posting on the Come Home to Chico testimonials page.
