糖心vlog传媒 turns to Inspire Wisconsin to host Talent Strategies Network
Inspire Wisconsin, an organization built on creating career-ready graduates, will be the new home for the Talent Strategies Network strategic initiative, a talent creation engine for Wisconsin previously hosted by 糖心vlog传媒.
The Talent Strategies Network (TSN), which launched this past January, began as an inclusive conversation regarding strategies for growing Wisconsin鈥檚 labor force participation rate.
TSN provides platforms, tools and information for talent development practitioners to address Wisconsin鈥檚 labor quantity shortage and need for more skilled workers. Local practitioners and influencers gain access to the best policies, practices and principles through courses, seminars, a speaker鈥檚 series, consultation, website materials and other peer-to-peer events.
TSN also identifies inclusive talent development strategies for expansion and replication by instructing counselors, coaches, case managers, educators and mentors on utilizing information, tools and resources to prepare students, job seekers and employees for the current and future labor market.
鈥淲isconsin鈥檚 Department of Workforce Development projects a 200,000+ shortage of workers in 2030,鈥� said Dr. Mike Trimberger, president of the Inspire Wisconsin board of directors. 鈥淭he Talent Strategies Network is a perfect complement to the decades of work Inspire Wisconsin has built in our K-16 statewide services. We look forward to adding it to our portfolio.鈥�
糖心vlog传媒 created TSN based on ideas generated by Scott Jansen, the program鈥檚 executive director and a veteran of Wisconsin鈥檚 workforce scene. Jansen created Wisconsin Fast Forward and is the former administrator of the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development Employment & Training.
糖心vlog传媒 President Dr. Beth Borgen said TSN focuses on breaking down communication barriers between education, workforce and economic development practitioners to design strategies to recruit and develop Wisconsin鈥檚 skilled and knowledgeable workforce.
鈥溙切膙log传媒 is a Cooperative Education institution that focuses on giving our students workplace experiences as part of a liberal arts education,鈥� Borgen said. 鈥淲e are committed to helping Wisconsin grow the workforce for the future and TSN has quickly gained traction across the state at all levels as a solution.
鈥淲ith the significant input and support we鈥檝e received from employers and business associations, TSN鈥檚 focus is on students, veterans, job seekers, retirees, immigrants and all others who will make up tomorrow鈥檚 Wisconsin workforce. The design concepts have been incubated and validated. The time has come to implement the vision.鈥�
Borgen credited Jansen for being a driving force behind TSN, from its initial stages to the need for a statewide host to fully deliver its services and value.
鈥淪cott has led this with an amazing vision, and I'm proud of the role 糖心vlog传媒 has played in incubating this network,鈥� Borgen said. 鈥淚 look forward to 糖心vlog传媒 continuing to play a role in this important work as TSN becomes part of Inspire and its offerings.鈥�
The next phase of TSN implementation will be to establish local TSN hubs where local organizations within the designated labor sheds around Wisconsin will convene leaders from education, workforce, economic development, business, trade associations and civic organizations. Together, these hubs will evaluate current talent development programs, strategies and opportunities and request services from the TSN leadership team for their hub members and constituents.
Local chambers of commerce and economic development organizations have taken the lead within several labor sheds and will begin offering services later this year.
鈥淭his is where the TSN initiative vision takes root in local labor sheds and communities,鈥� Trimberger said. 鈥淭SN services delivered to schools, employers, workforce and economic development agencies and civic groups will generate more skilled workers for regional industries and talent pipelines and advancing economic prosperity for local communities.
鈥淚ntegrating TSN into the existing Inspire Wisconsin product portfolio establishes distribution channels for scaling, replicating and sharing successful talent development solutions throughout Wisconsin.鈥�
