Graduates across America lack several of the necessary skills to succeed. Because of this, many businesses need to rethink their approach to attracting and retaining talent. Can businesses, by connecting mentors with students, begin to close this gap that exists?  According to our guest today, Patty Alper, President of the marketing consulting company Alper Portfolio Group, if your company doesn’t participate in mentorship programs, you’re already losing the talent war. This problem can no longer be overlooked if businesses and our communities want to sustain, grow, and thrive. Businesses must become proactive and create viable mentoring programs to create and equip future leaders with the skills needed. But just how can they do that? Can "a mentor, mentee, and really project close the skills gap in America"? In the episode, Patty Alper shares how we can prepare the next generation for a future tomorrow, one mentor at a time. Learn more about Teach to Work - https://teachtowork.com Connect with your host - https://carolyn360.com
