  • Talent Attraction

  • As the Metro Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development engine in Greater Louisville, one of GLI’s core objectives is to attract an educated and skilled workforce. We work with area employers, recruiters and relocation organizations to assist individuals considering relocation to the region.

    Talent Attraction Initiatives

    LiveInLou.com – The LiveInLou.com website is designed to inform and engage people about moving to and living in Louisville. Visitors to the site can access video, photos, content and links to a wide range of information about how they can live, work, learn, play, thrive and belong in Possibility City.

    LOUISVILLE 101 – Deemed the “Ultimate Guide to Living in Louisville” Louisville 101  is an interactive half-day program that brings the best of Possibility City to its newest residents. Featuring a wide variety of corporate personalities and civic leaders (including Mayor Jerry Abramson), Louisville 101 showcases cultural attractions, civic amenities and quality of life, addresses social issues and champions community involvement.

    LOUISVILLE REUNION An innovative talent recruitment event, this annual reception is held in a competitor city, hosted by Louisville civic leaders and employers and attracts 300-500 guests. Whether they went to school in Kentucky or have friends and family in Louisville, Reunion attendees have a pre-existing connection with our region – not to mention education and experience – that make them ideal candidates for talent attraction efforts.

    GREATER LOUISVILLE INTERNATIONAL PROFESSIONALS – Making diversity a priority, Louisville offers the Greater Louisville International Professionals (G.L.I.P.), a resource for newcomers, professionals and students in the area.
