History
Pipeline 4 Progress was established in Corning, NY in 2006. The effort was initiated to connect and engage the under 40 demographic. A major focus for Pipeline 4 Progress is to assist in the attraction and retention of talent in the P4P 13 county region.
"Go ahead, tell us how you really feel about life in the Southern Tier." That was our call to action for the Pipeline 4 Progress 2006 Summit, held January 13 in Corning, NY, and over 350 young adults from all walks of life responded with enthusiasm.
- 78% 20-40 years of age
- 80% college graduates
- 28% graduate degree holders
- 55% raised in the region
- 40% new to the region within the last five years
We are facing a "brain drain epidemic" as talented professionals seek other markets to establish their careers, start families, and become involved with the community. P4P is dedicated to keeping you and other talented individuals in our region.
In 2007, Elmira College was the site for "People Creating Potential." Bob Littell gave his keynote address on "Netweaving," and Amo Houghton spoke on his regional perspective as Congressman and CEO of Corning, Inc. The speakers were inspirational to the diverse audience.
Today P4P is developing, implementing, partnering, fostering, building, growing, cultivating… initiatives to engage and connect community stateholders - this is an important piece to attracting and retaining talent. We continue to move forward and do our part.
