Getting started in your career and finding a place to call home post-college can be a challenge for some. That's why Access Tallahassee hosted a Summit Friday for young professionals.

More than 100 young professionals were in attendance and had the opportunity to listen to presentations on entrepreneurship, getting involved in non-profits, and local economic development.

Access Chair for Access Tallahassee Jason Hollister said so many people come to Tallahassee for school and then leave to pursue a career.

"We want to keep that talent here, we want to build a place for them to develop and also to grow their own network and find ways that they can plug in and create a sense of place," said Hollister.

If you missed out on the event today, Access Tallahassee has many programs to get involved in throughout the year including Business and Brews and Coffee and Connections. For a full calendar of events you can visit their website.
