Companies base expansion and relocation decisions on the availability of talent in a city or region. Without robust talent pipelines, the Greater Phoenix region risks losing companies and high-wage jobs. Serving as a catalyst for partnership, the Foundation convenes six employer-led workforce collaboratives to address the growing skills gap facing our community: Advanced Manufacturing, Construction, Cybersecurity, Financial Services, Health Care, and Information Technology (IT).  Each collaborative focuses on engaging key stakeholders to champion holistic and scalable workforce solutions for the Greater Phoenix region.  The Foundation subscribes to the employer-driven U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s Talent Pipeline Management™ (TPM) model, which uses supply chain principles to align educational outcomes with employer talent demands.

Our workforce collaboratives accomplish their goals by:

1. Aligning educational training to necessary job skills
2. Providing work-based learning including apprenticeships and internships to prepare talent for open positions
3. Promoting career awareness and opportunities for underrepresented populations in each respective industry
