What is Talent Pipeline Management (TPM®)?

Talent Pipeline Management was created to better understand how businesses, education, and other partners can work together to solve Kentucky’s workforce crisis. For over five years, the Kentucky Chamber Foundation's Talent Pipeline Management program has worked to 

  • Convene businesses into employer-led industry collaboratives throughout Kentucky
  • Provide personalized talent solutions to ensure Kentuckians are trained, developed and upskilled into in-demand career pathways
  • Improve collaboration with education, government and workforce partners by utilizing our collaborative’s real-time data

Why Are Employers Getting Involved?

They need to keep pace with the changing needs of the economy. 78% of hiring managers say the skills gap persists across industries. Employers need a talent strategy that will help them clearly communicate their most critical job needs to their partners in education.

Upskilling has become essential for businesses. The TPM® approach builds external pipelines—adequately preparing talent that has yet to walk through the door—as well as long-term strategies for backfilling, upskilling, career pathway development, and succession planning.

TPM® helps businesses get the talent they need while saving time and money. More than 2,500 employers across the country and 300 employers across Kentucky are seeing results by making Talent Pipeline Management (TPM®) a priority.
