Finding and keeping qualified and motivated public works employees requires attention and dedicated resources. The cost to replace skilled and talented personnel is substantial. Without the next generation (the millennials) in the wings ready to take on the responsibilities and leadership roles of the retiring generation, there will be a void in valuable knowledge, and experience will be lost. This presentation offers strategies and resources for how to attract the millennial generation to public works careers. Speakers discuss what motivates the millennial generation and how we can steer them toward public works careers and, then, keep them as productive and valuable resources to your public works department and the community as a whole.

Learning Objectives:
Measure the cost of replacing qualified personnel.
Discover what motivates the millennial generation and how they are eager to contribute.
Identify resources to recruit and train the next generation of public works employees.
