Companies and managers who are known for their talent development skills and abilities are looked upon as leaders of industry and education.<\/p>\n<p>As I stated recently when I spoke at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.braatheenterprises.com\/keeping-cost-quality-high-student-interns-presentation-robert-braathe-rpi-boss-event\/\">RPI BOSS event<\/a>, it is better to have great talent that you have trained leave you than to have terrible talent stay.<\/p>\n<p>At Braathe Enterprises, we have developed over 150 student virtual interns over the past three years who have gone on to other companies. In many ways, we are like a talent farm &#8211; develop a great crop of people and see them go out into the market as viable leaders and employees.<\/p>\n<p>In other ways, we are like a minor league baseball team, knowing that our purpose is to develop high quality talent for other companies. When we hear of one of our alumni going on to work for a company like Sony Pictures or Sports Signup, we are delighted to hear of their success and that other organizations see value in our team.<\/p>\n<p>To work with our &#8220;Talent Farm&#8221;, give us a call at 518-290-0812 or send an email to <a href=\"mailto:mailto: &#116;&#x61;l&#101;&#x6e;&#116;&#x66;a&#114;&#x6d;&#64;&#x62;&#x72;&#97;&#x61;t&#104;&#x65;e&#x6e;&#x74;&#101;&#x72;p&#114;&#x69;&#115;&#x65;s&#46;&#x63;o&#109;\">t&#97;&#108;&#101;&#x6e;&#x74;&#x66;ar&#109;&#64;&#x62;&#x72;&#x61;&#x61;th&#101;&#101;&#x6e;&#x74;&#x65;&#x72;p&#114;&#105;&#115;&#x65;&#x73;&#x2e;co&#109;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can also visit us at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.braatheenterprises.com\">http:\/\/www.braatheenterprises.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Developing talent and watching it leave can be a sobering concept for many a leader, but doing this regularly can be a valuable endeavor.
