THE CHANGING TALENT PIPELINE
A key component of workforce development is awareness and understanding of the current and upcoming available workforce – the talent pipeline – and its needs and interests .
Census demographic projections indicate that by 2030 ,
population growth will slow , and people will age considerably , with one in every five Americans being older than 65 . Plus , the population will continue to become more racially and ethnically diverse . Today , 58 different languages are spoken in the homes of students in our local school districts and our census demographics reflect this .
We have common goals and interests with other programs and partners in the Northeast Metro area , including Partners for Good and the Minnesota Career Development Association ( MCDA ). This year , we teamed up in four different sessions with different groups and it was a success ! Shared programming broadens our outreach on subjects that are of mutual interest and benefit .
Another reason for partnering is the time and cost to put programs together and market them . We strive to keep costs to a minimum for our members and guests . We are grateful to local area businesses that provide us with free event space . We do have some limited opportunities to fund programming with grants available through our partnerships and we will continue to explore additional options .
Some of our collaborative partners include :
- Century College – we are looking at co-creating an employer forum event sometime this year .
-Career Pathway Programs
- Northeast Metro 916 Career & Technical Center
- White Bear lake Area Schools Independent School District ( ISD ) # 624
-Ramsey County Workforce Solutions -Minnesota Career Force
- Minnesota Department of Employment & Economic Development ( MN DEED )
We are always open to ideas for speakers , events , and locations ! Please reach out to Cindy O ’ Donovan at 651-295-1843 or codonovan @ right4yourbusiness . com
According to research conducted by McKinsey , Harvard Business Review , and LinkedIn , more diversity means more depth and breadth of ideas and experience . Businesses that make diversity a priority outperform their peers financially , and have greater productivity . They are more attractive to top talent and more likely to retain it . Plus , the more diverse and inclusive our organizations are , the more customers our products and service will reach .
