The goal of Stay Work Play NH is to expose more young people to the advantages of remaining in or returning to New Hampshire. The overall effort builds off the work of the University System of New Hampshire (USNH) and partnering organizations that established the 55% Initiative in 2007. This effort set a goal of encouraging at least 55% of the new graduates to stay compared to approximately 50% who currently stay.
To help encourage students stay home, Dyn is offering an incentive award for newly employed students.
The incentive awards are worth $8000 and are phased in over a period of four years, meeting the minimum dollar value per year as outlined below (participating organizations have the option to make awards above these totals):
- Completion of Year 1: 20% of the total or $1600
- Completion of Year 2: 40% of the total or $3200
- Completion of Year 3: 70% of the total or $5600
- Completion of Year 4: 100% of the total or $8000
The group is also looking for interns. Check out the PDF for more information.
