The demands of today’s economy require a strategic alignment between classroom and career that better supports students in their transition to the workforce.
Since the beginning of the TPM movement, we have heard from employers, state leaders, and workforce partners that partnerships are being developed and talent pipelines are being filled with skilled candidates for in-demand jobs.
Each TPM case study will continue to evolve as collaboratives develop their strategies, tweak their approach, and forge new partnerships. As we learn more about the successes that those who have adopted the TPM approach have seen, we will try and keep this page updated with those stories.
Employers Using TPM to Strengthen Their Talent Pipelines
Consumers Energy
In Michigan, Consumers Energy faced daunting skills gaps in their electric line and gas line workforce but were able to turn that around using the Chamber Foundation’s Talent Pipeline Management workforce strategy. As a result, Consumers now boasts a 98 percent retention rate, is saving $30,000 per hire in onboarding costs, and has the comfort of knowing that as soon as jobs are available there is a qualified pool of talent ready to fill them.
