Curious what attracts talent to the Santa Clarita Valley?
When looking for that next career position, it’s common for job seekers to focus first on the areas that have higher concentrations of opportunities in their field. It makes sense, they look where all the jobs are. The more diverse the industries are in an area, the more potential opportunities are available. Many are surprised when they find new opportunities waiting in a sector they’ve never even heard of. Employers and employees alike love doing business in Santa Clarita, and we love having them here! In the past few years alone, a substantial amount of our area’s population growth has come from individuals and families moving to the SCV. So why are so many people choosing our area as their ideal new home?
The Santa Clarita Valley is one of the few places in LA County with an abundance of developable land for residential real estate. With one of the largest residential construction projects statewide, SCV’s capacity to attract new residents is more prominent than almost every other region in California. For many nonnatives it takes just one visit to the Santa Clarita Valley and to see why they would want to stay. Offering premier dining and shopping, year-round special events, over 100 miles of hiking, bicycling and equestrian trails, and 280 days of sunny skies with an average year-round temperature of 77°, the Santa Clarita Valley boasts great housing options, world-class recreational facilities and is just minutes from the Los Angeles marketplace.
Santa Clarita Valley is home to a wide variety of industries, and its ideal location, fast-growing economy, and extraordinary quality of life make it a highly attractive market for talent. Unlike most of LA County to the South, Santa Clarita offers room to grow their lifestyles, their families, and their careers! From special events to everyday experiences that make for the perfect work/life balance, Santa Clarita Valley boasts top-tier education, beautiful new home developments, a dynamic business community and a positive, lively culture for people of all ages to enjoy.
As part of Economic Development Week, the SCVEDC released its newest resource to tell the story of the vibrant workforce, businesses, and opportunities here in the Santa Clarita Valley. In our SCV Talent Report you’ll learn more about our highly skilled talent pool, unmatched quality of life, exceptional academic institutions, and more!
