Welcoming New Professionals to Austin

Our Community Concierge program helps professional newcomers find housing, employment, and resources leading to meaningful connections in Austin.

Employers who want to attract and retain talent need to ensure their workforce puts down roots in Austin. That means professionals new to the area need to love where they live, shop and play, in addition to loving their jobs.

NEWCOMER EVENTS

We offer a variety of networking events for new professionals. Contact Kristen Olson to learn more.
