National Talent Collaborative

We are off and running at our spring meeting hosted by @GW_Partnership! Big work to be done to close the talent & opportunity gap by building pathways to good jobs.

During the first reauthorization of @US_EDA in nearly 20 years, we urge the Senate @EPWCmte to formally authorize the #BuildBackBetterRegionalChallenge and #GoodJobsChallenge. Read our sign on letter from more than two dozen leaders: americaachieves.org/wp-content/upl…

Thanks so much for hosting the National Talent Collaborative's Spring gathering!

Business leaders and CEOs from across the country gathered last month to discuss the future of workforce development and advancing the need for inclusive talent across the nation. These impactful discussions were led by former Commerce Secretary @PennyPritzker on how to collectively shape federal level policy and investment to strengthen the talent pipeline. We extend a special thank you to @akin_gump for hosting, and to @GW_Partnership Board partners Tony Pierce & Kathy Warden, Doug Wilson of @CLAofOC, Jon Schnur of @AmericaAchieves, Partnership team @Fioffreda and Kim Sarro for helping close out our productive conference. #CollectiveAction #SharedCommitment #NTC

"Almost every region of the country has come together despite differences in geography, economies & political persuasion, to say with one voice that we need to rethink how we develop talent in this country." - @PennyPritzker speaking at our DC gathering.

Engaging discussion with business leaders from across the country on turning challenges within the skills & talent ecosystem into growth opportunities. The @NTCImpact gathering, hosted by @GW_Partnership, brought us together to advance the talent pipeline & understand the talent gap from an employer and educator lens. @JPMorgan team where we heard remarks from our Board chair Peter Scher, Senator @MarkWarner, former Commerce Secretary @PennyPritzker, Assistant Secretary Alejandra Castillo (@AsstSecCastillo), Senior Counsel to Secretary Gina Raimondo Zoe Baird and Partnership CEO @KathyEHollinger.
