Abstract	Higher education institutions, communities, and employers experience challenges as young professionals continually adjust their workplace-participation views and behaviours. Higher education institutions face changes in student demand for job-oriented training, and the associated attrition from established programmes is costly. Communities find it costly to attract young professionals who shift their location preferences, and employers face costly turnover. These entities share an interest in finding ways to effectively meet these challenges. To attract new residents, small- and mid-sized communities are providing relocation incentives. To recruit and retain students, higher education has increased its emphasis on career placement. To reduce turnover, companies and researchers seek to understand employment expectations and desires among job candidates. In an attempt to address the interests of all three stakeholders, this study examines career-related values and decisions of Millennials. Data was collected from 943 business students across 11 four-year Midwestern campuses during two calendar years. Findings identify factors that influence how Millennials search for a job, what expectations they have, and which characteristics they find most attractive in companies and managers. They also suggest those who possess higher self-efficacy differ from those with lower self-efficacy. Implications for employers and broader impacts on their communities are discussed. (As Provided).
