Lehigh University is part of a newly formed task force of regional employers who wish to support one another in recruting and retaining a diverse workforce by forming a consoritum. Together, we propose relocation and networking services to potential hires (and their partners, spouses, families) who are planning to relocate to the Lehigh Valley region of Pennsylvania so that their integration into the community is strong and successful. Individuals with partners or spouses who also seek employment will have a program to assist them in making a career transition.
