National League of Cities (NLC): NextGen Recruiting – What Do Students Think of the Public Sector (and Why?)

The National League of Cities (NLC) is hosting NextGen Recruiting: What Do Students Think of the Public Sector (and Why?) on Wednesday, December 10^th, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM.

When do young people decide that local government is a rewarding career option? Or what makes them think it’s inefficient and bureaucratic? To be effective at recruiting the next generation of public servants, governments need to communicate with students via social media, volunteer opportunities and other methods to build awareness, and they need to do so long before graduation. This session will shed light on students’ formative exposures to public service, what motivates them in their career decision-making, and where they feel they need more information. The graduate students who collected the data will participate in sharing the results, as well as providing detailed feedback to steer more targeted recruitment efforts.
