The future of work is already here, it is just unevenly distributed.
Companies will compete on innovation and talent like never before. Labor markets will become more dynamic, not less. Skill obsolescence will be a permanent risk. Diversity, equity, inclusion, and economic recovery will be long-term efforts. And technology will not only change work, but workforce development itself. At the Center for Education and Workforce we address these challenges by transforming them into opportunities, and this is done through promoting agility—agility through partnerships, data, and investment.
Turning Challenges into Opportunities
Talent Pipeline Management (TPM)
An employer-led strategy to build real career pathways aligned to dynamic business needs.
The Talent Pipeline Management® (TPM) initiative is a workforce strategy helping regions across the country meet the needs of today’s changing business environment. It is a demand-driven, employer-led approach to close the skills gap that builds pipelines of talent aligned to dynamic business needs.
Since inception, more than 3,000 employers across 37 U.S. states, D.C., and Canada, have implemented this strategy. Our TPM Academy® trains state and local leaders, business associations, employers, and economic development agencies to develop partnerships and implement TPM based on their specific needs.

Modernizing the technology infrastructure for America's education and workforce data.
The T3 Innovation Network has grown to more than 500 organizations. This initiative brings business leaders, educators, and HR professionals together to change the way we provide, access, and use educational and workforce data by using advanced technologies like AI, blockchain, and others to create an open and decentralized public-private data ecosystem. Together, we are building the data and technology infrastructure to allow employers to signal the skills they need, for learners to signal what they can do, and for educators to signal what people are being trained and educated to do.

Talent Finance
A public-private approach to investing in talent to address the challenges and requirements of the new economy.
