EXAMPLE: Endeavor Lebanon's new High-Impact internship program with AUB is designed to showcase top university students the high caliber opportunities in Lebanon that they do not normally learn about. Once companies manage to hire the right talent, they need to retain it. Endeavor Lebanon's study reveals that 42% of entrepreneurs claim that they have no problem retaining their employees. Among entrepreneurs who consider talent retention a problem 76% attributed it to "brain drain". Entrepreneurs point out that people are drawn to better financial opportunities in the region and that Lebanon finds it hard to compete with salaries offered in the Gulf. By supporting High-Impact Entrepreneurs and helping grow world-class companies out of Lebanon, Endeavor is contributing to reversing the perception that jobs in Lebanon are less attractive or rewarding than jobs in the Gulf. In fact the 13 companies Endeavor Lebanon supports are regional and global leaders in their respective fields, providing the same exciting work experience and opportunities as their peers abroad. QUOTED "Lebanon has a great reservoir of human resources and talent coming out of universities, but the problem is that we aren't able to retain high-quality human capital in this country."
