Burlington Young Professionals launches community perception survey

Enter to win a one-night stay at the gorgeous Hotel Vermont

Vermont Business Magazine Burlington Young Professionals (BYP), a program of the Lake Champlain Chamber, has launched the second edition of the "Greater Burlington Young Professionals Perception Survey”. The survey aims to better understand the challenges and opportunities young professionals see in the greater Burlington area through professional, civic and personal lenses.

"The young professional community is hugely important to the vibrancy of the Vermont economy,” said Alex Bunten, BYP Director. “We want to know what makes the greater Burlington area appeal to YPs and what might have changed from the last time we ran the survey in 2019.”

Results from the last survey indicated that YPs value the greater Burlington area for the sense of community, natural environment and “localvore” culture. Some of the biggest challenges cited included lack of housing, affordability and opportunities for job growth.

“A lot has changed since 2019 but a lot has also stayed the same,” said Cathy Davis, President of the Lake Champlain Chamber, "so we are very interested to hear from this community and use the results to inform policy and practice as we move out of the pandemic years."

The survey can be accessed here. It takes between 10-15 minutes to complete. At the end, participants can enter to win a one-night stay at the Hotel Vermont (restrictions apply). Responses are completely anonymous.
