A strategic alignment between classroom and career.
Today, 50% of open, available positions in this country go unfilled, because the candidates aren’t available. 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. Today's economy requires 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. This approach:
- Prioritizes alignment between education and workforce systems
- Creates shared value for students and workers, education and training providers, and employers
- Shifts employers into the driver's seat to proactively lead partnerships with talent providers
- Equips business with the practical tools necessary to build an effective talent supply chain
- Provides a systematic framework flexible enough to be pursued as its own initiative or to enhance the employer role in an existing initiative
TPM: A Strategy, A Movement
The demands of today’s economy require a strategic alignment between classroom and career that better supports students in their transition to the workforce. More than 2,000 employers across the country are finding that alignment and seeing results by making Talent Pipeline Management (TPM) a priority.
