Come Home to Long Island

A couple of high school teachers, one of them a former accountant, have launched the Long Island Accountants Network to recruit college graduates to come back to the island to work in the accounting industry. Their idea is to identify talent for local firms who can't spare the resources to attend career fairs and other events themselves, says the Long Island Business News. It's a nifty idea, though it's aiming at candidates who aren't the most in-demand right now - the CPA with a few years of experience under her belt.
