A strategic alignment between classroom and career.
- Keeping pace with the changing needs of the economy. 78% of hiring managers say the skills gap persists across industries. Employers need a talent strategy that will help them clearly communicate their most critical job needs to their partners in education.
- Upskilling is no longer a nice to have. The TPM approach builds external pipelines—adequately preparing talent that has yet to walk through the door—as well as long-term strategies for backfilling, upskilling, career pathway development, and succession planning.
Top benefits of TPM include:
- Built on industry best practices
- Authentically employer-led
- Generates granular, actionable data on employer demand
- Provides a structured process for collective action and decision making
- Engages the full spectrum of talent sourcing providers
- Creates shared value, competitiveness, and accountability
- Focused on employer ROI

The TPM Academy®
The Chamber Foundation worked with a board of advisors to develop a training curriculum designed to walk business-led organizations through the process of implementing TPM principles. Beginning in 2019, the curriculum is expanded to include training for employers looking to upskill an existing workforce. This training is called the TPM Upskill Academy.
The curriculum begins with TPM orientation, gathering appropriate stakeholders and generating buy-in for the process, and runs through all six TPM strategies, concluding with Strategy 6, post-implementation continuous improvement.
