Welcome to the Talent Pipeline Management® (TPM) Resource Guide for Connecting Opportunity Population Talent to Better Career Pathways. The intended audience of this resource is organizations, their associated professionals, and their employer partners that serve opportunity populations—a term used to describe people who experience barriers to employment. Other stakeholders interested in TPM may also benefit from the resources here.
The purpose of this guide is to bridge the communication divide between opportunity population-serving organizations (OPSOs) and the business community by providing each with more information on the other. Another goal is to demonstrate how employers and OPSOs can leverage TPM to modify their processes in ways that make their partnerships more successful; shift employer perspectives and behavior; and ultimately promote greater workforce diversity, equity, and inclusion. It is our hope not only that this resource guide serves as an introduction to the TPM framework but that more OPSOs can begin leveraging and benefiting from this authentically employer-led movement.
