NOW - A Workforce that Works for You!

The North Orange County Chamber (NOCC), in partnership with the US Chamber of Commerce, is promoting a new employer-led approach to workforce development. “Talent Pipeline Management” (TPM) encourages employers to work directly with educators to address workforce supply and demand needs.

As one of the 18 chambers across the country selected to participate in a TPM Academy this year, we are beginning efforts to support employer collaboratives to better source and develop talent for positions critical to their competitiveness and growth. Employer collaboratives encourages them to come to the table as customers ready to manage a talent supply chain connecting education and workforce providers.

WHY EMPLOYER COLLABORATIVES

The benefits of becoming part of an employer collaborative have been well documented. Among the returns for businesses are:

Stronger Brand Recognition when recruiting talent: Joining a collaborative can improve your business’ visibility to providers, prospective workers and students.

Improved Leverage when engaging providers and public-sector partners: Working collectively, businesses are better equipped to engage with providers and public partners around shared needs with a clear and consistent message.

Clearer Communication around talent needs and requirements: Employers can better share their job projections and talent needs – including competency and credential requirements – with trusted provider partners.

Easier Management of business risks with preferred partners: Together, collaboratives manage internal and external risk factors and ensure a stable and trusted supply of career-ready job candidates.

Shared Capacity Building around new talent management practices: Employers learn and improve together as peers to better engage in talent supply chain practices, tap new sources of talent and manage the talent pipeline.

Communicating Demand

• Recruitment

• Job openings
