The growing economy is good news but also drives competition for talent. Blake Patton, Atlanta CEO Council board member, entrepreneur and managing partner of Tech Square Ventures, sees and hears everyday about the need for the development and retention of talent.

Both TAG-ED and the Metro Atlanta Chamber offer resources to help find the right match and develop an internship program for high school and college students.
