Join us as Natalie Wenzler from the state of Indiana discusses how the state chamber and Western Governors University joined together to develop the basis for a talent marketplace that has the potential to expand statewide.
Beth Doyle, from CAEL, will also share the development and early results of a pilot in Pittsburgh with similar goals that is also incorporating WIOA-funded training and community-based organizations into the talent marketplace. CAEL is partnering with Chambers, Workforce Organizations, and Higher Education to show how smarter education - workforce alignment can strengthen your region’s talent pipeline. This fast‑paced session highlights practical models chambers can use now to drive economic mobility and regional growth. ACCE and CAEL are pleased to collaborate on this webinar designed to highlight ways that higher education, chambers of commerce, and the workforce system can connect to build economic prosperity.
By connecting growing industries, talent diversity goals, local workforce training, and higher education, residents can have more clearly defined, digestible, and supported pathways into high-wage occupations. Basing these pathways on verified, in-demand skills can allow job seekers to be more easily matched to jobs than AI-drafted resumes and automated screening can accomplish. As the need for middle and higher-level skills grows, this approach also allows those who want to advance their career to do so without starting over with their education.
