A Bold Vision for the Future
Best Practice Sharing: National Talent Collaborative gathers in person biannually to discuss its shared commitment to talent and workforce development across the United States. The NTC also hosts virtual quarterly gatherings to share its work, ideas and best practices.
We have prioritized three work streams where we see the biggest opportunities to leverage our national collaboration.
Fund and Scale Programs
We need to move beyond local pilot programs in regions and instead fund successful talent development programs at scale. To do this requires federal and state resources to help scale successful programs that are working.

NTC Goal: Establish common metrics of success that are simple and easy to access for everyone, everywhere – from CEOs and educators to government leaders.
NTC Goal: Secure ongoing funding of $500 million from public and private sources.
“When you get a community collectively working on adaptable solutions, coming at it from the framework of facts and business principles, you can actually get a lot done.”
– Dick Gochnauer, Managing Director, SC Master Fund and co-founder CLAOC
“To build talent pipelines for the future, we have to be inclusive, or we’ll never get there. This requires upskilling students and workers. And that requires dollars. We cannot get there with only business dollars. We must have government investment as well.”
– Brad Henderson, CEO, P33, Chicago
