U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation Talent Pipeline Management Initiative

TPM_Logo-02.png

A strategic alignment between classroom and career.

We have people without jobs, and jobs without people. Today, 50% of open, available positions in this country go unfilled, because the candidates aren’t available. At the same time, 40% of businesses can’t take on more work because they can’t fill the jobs they have. Traditional education and career pathways weren't designed to develop skills for a fast-changing market or to match the speed of changing industry requirements.

The demands of today's economy require a strategy that connects workers to the jobs employers are trying to fill.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation Talent Pipeline Management^® (TPM) initiative is a workforce strategy for our time that can meet the needs of today’s changing business environment. The TPM Academy^®builds on this foundation to train state and local leaders, business associations, employers, and economic development agencies to drive partnerships with their education and training providers based on need.

TPM: A Strategy, a Movement

The TPM Academy^®

the curriculum is expanded

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.

The National Learning Network

Growth of the TPM initiative has continued thanks to a national network of TPM leaders and champions who act as Peer Advisors to those businesses and states new to the process. In October each year we host a national workforce conference that brings these audiences together to discuss best practices, challenges, and successes.
