SHARE
Share insights and resources
- Cultivate a robust community of
practice for organizations to learn
from each other and access
resources - Surface insights from NTC regions
and feed national insights back to
regions
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.
SHAPE
Shape national dialogue and policy agenda
- Become a recognized business voice on talent and economic mobility
topics - Shape and co-advance federal and state policy priorities
- Facilitate a learning exchange on
state-level policy
Data can help us understand who earns a degree, where they get a job, and how well they perform in that job. This requires tracking and analyzing results of programs against a longer time horizon and across organizations.
SCALE
Scale regional pilots and innovation
- Identify and seed leading models and interventions
- Help to scale proven interventions
across regions by unlocking
resources and distilling learnings
The voice of business must be at the table with federal, state, and local governments.
NTC Goal: Train/educate 1,000,000 people by 2030 and place them in middle- to high-paying jobs.
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
